More most older Windows programs are written in C or C++ using MFC for GUI widgets. Vista marks a migration towards C# using .NET for the GUI.

i didnt understand 1 word of that. :-[

then you must not know much. i cant program to save my life and i know what c, c++ and .net are.

Basic is all well and good, but see if your local library has any reading material on C, C# or C++. They're the way to go for application programming. The syntax is *somewhat* similar to game maker's, so if you have a grounding in that it would help.
-
If you are comfortable with Basic, I don't think Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/) is a bad choice to get started with GUI programming.You can do some nice thing with Visual Basic and DirectX.
Ultimately though, if you get serious with programming, you'll eventually want to learn C++. Won't hurt to learn C or C# either.
And if you're still clueless, do Wikipedia searches on any terms you aren't familiar with and educate yourself.

are all of these free?if not, how much would they be(in US dollars)
-
Yes.

Don't suggest. Just do. That's how fads are born.

when i try to install visual basic, it asks for a registration number, so i went to the website, and they said itwould be emailed to me but i never got it. can someone else try?

But then it will be for someone else.. and handing over details like that is wrong.

Stop spamming the forum please. This is an official warning.

Personally, I think the best free way to start for a n00b would be downloading Dev-C++ and the Allegro libraries.
It doesn't get any simpler than that.
Of course, if you can't figure out how to build allegro, then you might need a private tutor :)
