I am a relatively inexperienced VB programmer and I need to draw images to
the screen at a lighting fast rate as to avoid flicker. However, I have been
unable to figure out how to use Direct X, especially since tutuorials in
directX often come bundled with other things that I do not need that
complicate the matter. All I need is some simple code to draw an image from a
given path to the screen (and preferably be able to use a Rectangle to
indicate which part of the image to draw) at a fast rate. Any advice?

Have you tried copying images to the screen using the BitBlt...it's lighting
fast and you probbly won't notice any flicker.  Assume you are drawing to a
picture box or form and can use double buffering.
