delay

my issue is i need to wait 3-4 seconds after a button has been pressed before i can check for it, here is my code under button1_click:

        While Not File.Exists(LastCap)
            Application.DoEvents()
            MsgBox("testtestetstets")
        End While

        PictureBox1.Load(LastCap)

I think i'm doing something really simple wrong, i'm not the best at VB as i'm just learning so any explaining would be great!

~Thanks
