How to load symbols for VS 2008

As seen in the box directly below, I have no symbol paths defined.  As a result, break points do not get hit - see the second picture below:

What can be done to resolve this problem?  If I go to the menu item - 'Debug\Window\'  there is no Module submenu item.  Therefore, I can not use the module option to automatically load the symbols.

The following msdn article talks about how easy symbol loading can be when in actuality, it is anything but straight forward!

Thanks for the help!

The problem was not about loading symbols although the error would pop up if I hovered over the break during run-time
