Any newer examples are likely build for MSVC 7, which may not have a compatible Workspace (DSW) format. Try opening the Project file (DSP) or the VCPROJ file directly.

VC7 also uses yet another file type called a "Solution" file (SOL). If there is no SOL file for the example you're looking at, then it probably is an old example which should load in VC6, so I that case something else would be causing the problem.
