For some reason, when I switch to mouse input switch back to keyboard input for my program, increasing and decreasing the counter has no effect. It works perfectly in the first loop where we input characters. Here is the program, any advice? Look at whatspeed jump for reference after mousetime jump. CX counter is not updating or something along those lines. (I do not know if the counter is not updating or weather there is a problem occuring in comparing CX after I switch from mousetime to keytime . )

The fault is caused because the mouse interrupt
33hfunctionAX=0003hreturns the mouse position inCXandDX.This overwrites your "counter" in register
CX.It is always a dangerous game to keep values in registers throughout a program. Better to have a memory variable location.
You could also try
PUSH CXbefore executing the mouse functions andPOP CXafter, but your program structure and flow might not be conducive to that (I have not followed it fully).Also, the reason why your program does not recover from (in your context) the absurd value of
CXis because of the test instruction you used. For example hereyou must always be cautious and trap any value that is out of range (even if you think it won't be)
Also with
