ok, is there any way to create an app that doesnt require .net framework? i know this seems redicules, but what do you do if you want someone else to see your work? do you have to go to their house with the .net cd's and install the framework? there got to be a way to run this stuff on systems without .net framework? maybe just not in vb.net. next short question. is there any language that is compatable with win98 thru XP that doesnt require additional stuff like framework? c++.net?

You need the .NET Framework runtime to run the apps written using the .NET Framework, but the file with the .NET runtime is only about 23MB so it shouldnt be a problem.
C++ (not C++.NET) doesnt require anything additional on most systems because the requirements are already built into the OS.
