Debugger don't work

I downloaded and extracted assembler and debugger in the same folder. But debugger is not showing corresponding registry value changes for actual code.
nasm assembler works fine.
are debuggers only suppose to work for 8088 microprocessors?

"Registry" or "register"?

Can you be more specific? What target architecture are you assembling and debugging? I assume the machine you're using is x86 or x86-64? Which "debugger" are you using? "Debugger" could mean a number of things but I would normally expect a debugger to only run programs written for the same target architecture the debugger itself as an executable is written for.
 
It's register. I am using T2310 processor 32 bit.
In the code if I move the cursor to instruction
mov ax, 10 then the debugger is suppose to show that the value 10 is moved to register ax.
when I move the cursor to add ax, bx debugger is suppose to show corresponding changes but it's not showing those changes. The register values remain zeros no matter where I move the cursor.
I am using advanced full screen debugger v 2.0 on vista. I don't know if I am using 8086 or 8088 processor but the debugger is working fine on 8088 processor. I think I have to use a different debugger. What do you think? Where to find another debugger for assembly language? I am using Nasm.
I downloaded the tools from
