Real mode allows programs direct access to but protected mode does not?

i finnally freackin found it, real mode(16 bit) allows access to all hardware resources, where protected mode(32 bit) controls how the application accesses the hardware. In real-mode, an application has complete access to all hardware resources. This "open door" policy can create problems when applications make conflicting commands to the hardware. In protected mode and long mode, the OS controls how an application can access hardware.page 53 in CompTIA A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining Your PC, Sixth Edition by Jean Andrews
