Private Sub loadBitmaps()
slotAnimation = New Bitmap() {New Bitmap("images/1.png"),
New Bitmap("images/4.png"),
New Bitmap("images/5.jpg"),

My first guess is that the slashes should be the other way. Forward slashes are used in URLs while backslashes are used in Windows file paths. I'm not sure whether you can use either in that specific scenario but that's the first thing I'd try. Also, are you absolutely sure that there is an images folder with those files in the current directory of the process? You really ought to use absolute paths, which you could do by using Application.StartupPath to get the path of the program folder.
