Newbie Question About Creating a Screen Saver from scratch

I'm trying to create a screen saver using Visual Basic 2005. I was wondering does anyone know of a good site or tutorial on this subject that explains from start to finish how to accomplish creating a simple screen saver I found one on the microsoft site but it mentions issues with visual basic 2005 express writing code to two separate forms, the the form.vb and form.designer.vb, and that these would need to be resolved but it does not go into how to do it. Would anybody know how to do that If I can figure that part out I could use the tutorial I found. I'm newbie who is trying to learn by practicing and actually coding as I go by creating a screen saver from scrath. I have tried the screen saver starter kit and while it is good for learning to code and make changes it does not really explain how to go start from start to finish. Also are there any how to learn visual basic 2005 books that anyone recommends for a beginner

Thanks in advance

As I posted I have the screen saver starter kit. Problem is I want to know how to go from start to finish. Having it already programmed does not help me learn how to do the things needed to create something. It is just how I learn things. Also I do not want the RSS portions, which I have tried to remove and I keep getting errors, and I want different images which the article you provided does in part explain how to do. I guess I was just wondering if anybody knew of a site or a tutorial that explains nicely how to create from scratch a screen saver without having to modify an existing one.
