VB sucks, just stick with C++ until you get it fairly good. Then pick up the Windows API(MFC if you want). Then DirectDraw, Directsound, Directinput, then if you feel up to it, Direct3d or OpenGL.

VB is quite good IMO.
I suggest you then try on :
DirectDraw,
Directsound,
Directinput,

And later try :
OpenGL or something like that.

Hmm. VB is slower than C++, but also much easier. It may be a good place to start so that you get the idea of modern windows programming though. VB is fine for smaller applications, like some utilities, but for bigger projects it is too slow.
