I have only just started looking at programming and have stumbled across this engine but I dont have VB or c++ do I need to get them to use this?

Yes, I think that you must know C++ basics.

Thanks but when I downloaded it the opening tutorial talked about opening it in visual studios I'm probabaly showing myself to be a total fool but I am confused.

The first tutorial explains how set up IDE for Irrlicht engine. (Tutorial explains this for Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6.0 and .NET.) These are commercial IDEs, but there are also several other IDEs. I personally use Dev-c++, because it is free. (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) I suggest you to first read a book about c++ basics and then proceed with the engine itself.
