hi!, i have a new problem with C++2010, when i want open the file hl.dsw or hl.dsp, displays this message:

"The project 'C:\Program Files\HL Source Code\DLLs\hl.dsp' must be converted to the current Visual C++ project format. After it has been converted, you will not be able to edit this project in previous versions of Visual Studio.

Convert and open this project?"

And I make click in "yes", then displays this message:

"the project file 'C:\Program Files\HL Source Code\DLLs\hl.dsp' cannot be loaded. Do you want remove the unloadable project from the Solution?".

And I put "no"... later, the hl.dsw or hl.dsp no display in my window; and in the "Output Window\" displays this message:
"'C:\Program Files\HL Source Code\DLLs\hl.dsp' : error : Project upgrade failed."
