Can't add VSS 6.0 database in Visual Studio 2008

Can't add VSS 6.0 database in Visual Studio 2008

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.
