What version of VB? Please use the radio buttons provided to specify when creating a new thread.

Can you see the files on the Resources tab of the project properties or have they just been added to the project with their Build Action property set to Embedded Resource?

If the file is present in the Resources tab then you can access it via My.Resources in code. What is the type of the property by which you access it? It will likely be Byte() or UnamanagedMemoryStream or the like.
