Can't add VSS 6.0 database in Visual Studio 2008

Question

I am using VSS 6.0 along with Visual Studio 2008. If I launch VSS separately, I can add a Database by clicking "Browse" -> "Browse" -> click on a "srcsafe.ini" file. I can then choose a name for the database, and it will be added to the list of available databases.

However, if I am running Visual Studio, and I try to add my solution to source control, it will prompt me to connect to a VSS database, for which I follow the exactly same procedure described as above. Instead of adding the database to the list of database, it will do nothing. No screen freeze, no error, no nothing.

Has anyone encountered the same problem? If yes, did you solve it and how did you solve it? Any help would be much appreciated.
