Why symbols are not loaded for debugging?

I used Task Manager to create process dump. Copied pdb,.exe,.cpp(source file) and dump in one folder.

When I open crash dump and use !analyze -v command in WinDbg, it gives following errors/warnings.

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for Project1.exe
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for Project1.exe

Symbol path is set to,

http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

When I have source, exe and .pdb why I am not able to load symbols in WinDbg?

Even if .pdb’s are in the same folder as the dump, you must include it in the symbol file path, Try someting like: 

.sympath c:<Project1>;SRV*C:\WebSymb*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Same with source, set source path to the folder you have copied into.

The help has a section about symbols. Without symbols, you don’t see source either.
