My Mouse wheel Is squeaking pretty bad, the sound is totally bogus, anyone know of what I can use to re-lube the insides safely?

Highlight your entire code. Press the delete key. Start over again using Cuphead's CSB tutorial and work your way from their rather than raping code from downloaded sources meant purely for learning purposes. If this does not fix the problem, uninstall Visual Basic and get a new hobby. I suggest Cricket.

When you say wheel, do you mean the wheel on topm or the ball?

Scroll wheels.  So you can scroll without having to click arrows or drag the scrollbar.

I use Microsoft's Intellimice, so I poked around on their website and came up with this, if you've never seen one (it's the thing in the middle, between the two buttons):

Or, if you're just joking around, disregard this post. =P

Cheese good Idea, would fall in good line with the saying

Buy a new mouse.
I agree, they're about $10 and it will save you the trouble of trying to fix your own then possible screwing it up anyways.

Buying a new optical mouse with scroll wheel... or attempting to fix the squeak.  Ill for the attempt first, and the mouse wheel comment was sarcasm as to an actuall mouse wheel that a pet rodent would use if you owned one, i dont but...suprised that went over everyones head.

I have no idea what you're saying.  Try some grammar.
