Hide console of Windows Application

so i installed opengl for visual studio by lazyfoo's tutorial.
when i run the project i get 2 menus.
one is the old fashion console window and one is a game window.
i want to start my project without the console window. how am i supose to achiev this?
In lazyfoo he tells me to change my linker/SubSystem settings to windows so the console doesn't pop up but when i do this i get this freaky error.
Is there a better way to prevent the console window from poping up?

Here's something that I hope helps! : Making my console application invisible

Does invisible count as not there?

Your question is answered in the tutorial.

Under Linker in the System menu, set the subsystem. I recommend setting it to windows if you don't want console output, and console if you do want console output.

I answered it here:

Full quote following:

In the project build linker options set

/SUBSYSTEM:windows
/ENTRY:mainCRTStartup

Or use the following #pragma in the source file with the int main(...)

#pragma comment(linker, "/SUBSYSTEM:windows /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup")
