Visual Studio 6.0 crashes when I try to add a file to my solution

[EDN Admin]

When using Visual Studion 6.0 Professional Edition, the applicaion will crash when I add a new file to the project.  The process I use to add a file is to:<br/> 1) go to the "FileView" <br/> 2) right click on the desired folder (say "Source Files")<br/> 3) select "Add Files to Folder"<br/><br/>I then get the message box that says "Microsoft (R) Developer Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."<br/><br/>When I click for more information the message says "Error signature<br/> AppName: msdev.exe          AppVer: 6.0.8168.1          ModName: devshl.dll<br/> ModVer: 6.0.8168.0          Offset: 0003eaed"<br/><br/>This did not used to be a problem.  I do have multiple version of VS installed on this PC.  The versions are 2003, 2005, and 2008.  When I open the project on a different PC, I am able to add the file.  I can then reopen the project on my PC and the new file is part of the project.
