I'm pretty new to C++ and I was setting up a project with SFML, which was working fine, I have no code issues according to Visual Studio, but when I debug I get these error messages:

I've already done quite a bit of research to try to fix this, but no suggestions worked or changed anything at all. I checked through my additional dependencies and I didn't make any spelling errors:
sfml-main-d.lib;sfml-audio-d.lib;sfml-system-d.lib;sfml-window-d.lib;sfml-graphics-d.lib;
My release dependencies:
sfml-system.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-audio.lib;kernel32.lib;user32.lib;gdi32.lib;winspool.lib;comdlg32.lib;advapi32.lib;shell32.lib;ole32.lib;oleaut32.lib;uuid.lib;odbc32.lib;odbccp32.lib;
Once again, I'm new to C++ so I may be doing something incredibly stupid. I don't think my source code has anything to do with it, however someone suggested that I add
#pragma comment(lib, "sfml-main-d.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "sfml-system-d.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "sfml-window-d.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "sfml-graphics-d.lib")
above my main method, so I did.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
