dll problems

A few forums claimed that this output was normal, but my program doesnt run, even when clicking the exe.

That IS perfectly normal output, the problem must be somewhere else in the program.

Those messages just mean that there's no available debugging information for those specific DLLs (which is perfectly normal). You can still debug everything else just fine.

As others have said it is fairly normal to see that output. In VS you can right-click in the 'output' window and enable/disable classes of messages if you dont want to see them. I typically tend to filter out all of that fluff and leave only exceptions and program output (note: this can be dangerous as it hides useful output at times!).

Read this if you want symbols: Use the Microsoft Symbol Server to obtain debug symbol files

I used to have my IDE's set up to use symbols but they rarely helped much and mostly just slowed down launching my application (sometimes took upwards of 30 seconds to load all the symbols).

Make sure you've read the updated forum FAQ - it'll give you some ideas about tracking down your error(s) if you're still stumped.
