Clueless on getting started

I got all the programs downloaded that were listed on the Microsoft site. the problem I'm having is that I'm going over the 2d tutorial in xna and it says loading a bmp file. Which I know is an image file. What do I use to draw it Is there any image rendering in the way of actually making the image or is it all code I'm just getting stuck and could really use some help.

    Paint.NET is another good one.

    Sometimes things can seem a bit daunting. I have started a tutorial on XNA game programming for beginners. Visit my blog at http://msikes.spaces.live.com/ , I take it step by step and have graphics that you can download to get you started.

    MS Paint would do just fine.

    Yup, most game art is created in art-creation programs. If you want something more powerful than Paint, you could try the free open-source program GIMP. Personally, I use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, but there are lots of great choices.
