Hiya,

Another suggestion is Microsofts XNA. I have just started using this
and there are some decent resources on the web.

You need C# express edition and XNA game studio express. Both free
from Microsoft (see 'software' section in link below)

Have fun

In addition to Michael's recommendation, I would suggest that you look
at the XNA framework.
