Error while read/write an image in Visual c++ using opencv 2.4.3

Question

I had followed the instructions of installing opencv using a youtube video. First program was working fine.. I am using Visual studio 2010 and opencv 2.4.4

#include<opencv\cv.h>
#include<opencv\highgui.h>

using namespace cv;


int main()
{

    Mat image ;//=imread("C:\Users\Jango\Pictures\deepika-padukone-97a_4.jpg");
    VideoCapture cap;
    cap.open(0);
    namedWindow("window",1);

    while(1)
    {
        cap>>image;
        imshow("window",image);

        waitKey(33);



    }
}

the video window is opening, and i can see the video on the webcam also. But when i tried the following program, i got many errors(the image path is correct)

    #include<opencv\cv.h>
    #include<opencv\highgui.h>

using namespace cv;


int main()
{

    Mat image =imread("C:\Users\Jango\Pictures\deepika-padukone-97a_4.jpg");
    //VideoCapture cap;
    //cap.open(0);
    namedWindow("window",1);

        imshow("window",image);

        waitKey(33);


        return 1;
    }

errors are

I don't know if it's the only problem, but the first thing to check is the line:

Mat image =imread("C:\Users\Jango\Pictures\deepika-padukone-97a_4.jpg");

Should be

Mat image =imread("C:\\Users\\Jango\\Pictures\\deepika-padukone-97a_4.jpg");
