cannot find or open pdb file in Microsoft visual c++

[Tick Talos]

So I'm trying to write a program for a pong game using a tutorial online. Every time i try to run my program its telling me "Cannot find or open pdb file" I have tried running Microsoft visual c++ as administrator and checking the box next to the Microsoft symbol server. I only get a black console screen with a blinking cursor.

Can someone smarter then me help me?

thanks

The pdb will need to be in the same directory as the executable.

But if you're building a release, it won't be needed. If you're running from within the IDE it'll work fine, unless you've borked it.
