On my machine I found the same problem. There appears to be a registry problem in the GPL version. Normally I use the GNAT Pro version.
Although I'm no expert, I did find that adding the following registry information fixed this problem on my machine.

Put this text in a file called fix.reg and double click on it.

------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{c9ecf690-c138-42ce-a401-47a5e063cd75}]
@="AdaCore.AdaPackage.AdaPackage, AdaPackage, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0c733cd32e50e760"
"Assembly"="AdaPackage, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0c733cd32e50e760"
"Class"="AdaCore.AdaPackage.AdaPackage"
"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files\\Gnatpro\\vs_integration\\AdaPackage.dll"
"CompanyName"="AdaCore"
"ID"=dword:00000068
"InprocServer32"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mscoree.dll"
"MinEdition"="Standard"
"ProductName"="GNAT Pro for .NET"
"ProductVersion"="1.0.0.0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{c9ecf690-c138-42ce-a401-47a5e063cd75}\SatelliteDll]
"DllName"="vs_lexer.dll"
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Gnatpro\\vs_integration"
------------------------------------------------

BTW, when an Ada project can't be opened, i.e. there is a problem with adaproj, 
also check the registry for a value skiploading=1 (should be 0) on the following key: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{c9ecf690-c138-42ce-a401-47a5e063cd75}

Hope this helps
