I tried running sample programs provided at NVIDIA's official site. Most of the programs ran smoothly except few where I get similar error messages. How can I fix that? Here's a sample of error message I got after running a program named "MatrixMul".
Note: I have installed both x32 and x64 NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit v5.0 on my Window7x64 OS.

Working with VS 2013. Try the following Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Output Window -> Module Load Messages -> Off It will disable the display of modules loaded.
Please check if the setting Generate Debug Info is Yes which under Project Propeties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Debugging tab. If not, try to change it to Yes.
Those perticular pdb's ( for ntdll.dll, mscoree.dll, kernel32.dll, etc ) are for the windows API and shouldn't be needed for simple apps. However, if you cannot find pdb's for your own compiled projects, I suggest making sure the Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Debugging > Working Directory uses the value from Project Properties > Configuration Properties > General > Output Directory .
You need to run Visual c++ in "Run as Administrator" mode.Right click on the executable and click "Run as Administrator"
If that message is bother you, You need run Visual Studio with administrative rights to apply this direction on Visual Studio.
Tools-> Options-> Debugging-> Symbols and select check in a box "Microsoft Symbol Servers", mark load all modules then click Load all Symbols.
Everything else Visual Studio will do it for you, and you will have this message under Debug in Output window "Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0)"
If this happens in visual studio then clean your project and run it again.
Build --> Clean Solution
Run (or F5)
I'm also a newbie to CUDA/Visual studio and encountered the same problem with a couple of the samples. If you run DEBUG-> Start Debugging, then repeatedly step over (F10) you'll see the output window appear and get populated. Normal execution returns nomal completion status 0x0 (as you observed) and the output window is closed.
