First thing is first, does anyone know a good site that teaches you game programming to simple to sample? I am only a beginner at making a actual game program so i need to start off with something like how to make a menu, make graphics onto the window, etc. Anyone?

First of all, you need to know how to create a simple window before jump in to menu and stuff like that (not the DOS window thingy). You can use OpenGL, DirectX for graphic and 3D objects. nehe.gamedev.net has the tutorial for OpenGL.
