As you come from a VB line, first learn DirectX programming in VB and VB.NET. That is the best start. Also go to msdn online at msdn.microsoft.com and find VB/game/directX. You dont need anything more.
Good luck

Thank you for the response. I have already thought of using DirectX 9 w/VB.NET. As I don't have much time to learn this, I was wondering if there were any other choices. Sorry I forgot to mention that in my question! I am adding a comment right now to inform others. Thanks again!

If you want to try a multiplatorm approach then opengl.org has a lot of resources for developing software.

Thanks, but I'm not really interested in the multi-platform approach. I would like to stick with Windows for now. In the future I may use the link though. Thank you for your effort.

Thank you for the response. These engines are really what I was looking for but because of my age (11) I really can't afford these products.

Please do not point me to the DirectX Web site. I forgot to mention that I really don't have the time to learn VB.NET and DirectX 9. The purpose of posting this question was to find a quicker and cheaper way. Sorry for the inconvenience.
