I just installed vb.net for school. After I have built my form and added the
code, the whole program freezes up when I run it. The only thing I can do is
end task it to get out. Can someone help with this?

Are you saying your program crashes and returns you to the IDE, or that the
IDE itself is crashing?
What happens if you just try to build your project? Are any errors
identified?
When the "freeze" takes place, what is the status of the application in Task
Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to see Task Manager).
Have you tried to create a new Windows project and *not* added anything to
it? Try that and that run the project. Does it still "freeze", or does it
display the empty form?
As I cannot see your project, it's difficult to provide useful advice
without further testing and details.

When I run the project (click Debug, then Start) the whole application
freezes up. The dialog at the bottom of the application says, Build: 1
suceeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped. In task manager it shows the application as
running but I cannot do anything with it at all, nothing in the program
responds to any mouse clicks or keyboard shortcuts. I cannot even right
click the program on the task bar to close it. Even if I start a new project
and try to "Run" it without adding anything to the form1, it freezes up.

Can we assume that your system is free of viruses, trojans, malware and
adware?
If so, I'd suggest a repair install, and if that fails, a complete
uninstall/reinstall.

Yes, no viruses etc. I tried to repair it but I can try to reinstall later
tonight. Maybe this is related, maybe not. But with all of the disks I used
to install this program (Tools, prerequisits, etc) could one of the
components be acting up? I do not know anything about IIS but it was
installed (on the prerequisit CD or tools CD I am not sure) but I noticed
that I cannot right click on a folder and choose sharing and security
anymore. I have to end task the inetshare.exe (not at home now so I do not
remember the process exactly) and then the share and security works like it
always has. Could there be something like this messing with VB?

It should say

IIS is not provided with Visual Studio. It is provided with your operating
system, but is not installed by default. If you see it listed as installed
in Add/Remove Programs - Windows Components, you might consider uninstalling
*and reinstalling* it *before* reinstalling Visual Studio.
