Errors using OpenCV 2.4.10 on Visual Studio 2013

Information:

Windows 8.1 64-bit

Visual Studio 2013

OpenCV 2.4.10

I need OpenCV to do some image processing for my college group, but I can't even being learning how to use OpenCV's functions because I can't seem to get it to work with Visual Studio 2013. I've been trying for weeks using various tutorials and videos that are all so similar but always slightly different but always fail. I found this tutorial (http://ift.tt/1rwul9s) and now It seems to work (sources at least build now)... but some samples I run don't work and the debug output says stuff like this:

'OpenCV2410Test2.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

'OpenCV2410Test2.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

There are about 50 or so "errors" like the one about in various areas and I have no idea why, it only happens on some samples though (for example, the above error came from trying to run "edge.cpp"). I've been having so many errors with this and I have no idea what to do. The only thing I can think about is my OS being 64 bit when the video has a 32-bit OS.

Help would be greatly appreciated, I want to know my setup will work when I need it.
