Cannot open a project

I have a dotnet web app that opens & works fine.

There's another application on the same server, in a folder below the web
application. Both web apps are set up as virtual directories there and both
work on the server.

I am preparing to take ownership of the new project, and have tried to open
it, but get the following message when I try to open it:

"Unable to open web project 'myproject'. The file path
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebproject does not correspond to the URL
http://localhost/mywebproject. The twe need to map to the same server
location. Http: error 400: Bad Request."

The way I got the vbproj file over is to go into my wwwroot folder on my
machine (Windows XP), create a folder mywebproject, and then go to the
server the running app is on, grab everything in the mywebproject folder,
and bring it over to my local box.

I have tried 40 ways from friday, and cannot open the new project.

I've checked local IIS settings, for the older app (which I can open), and
the new app (which I cannot), and they are pretty much identical.

I've tried editing the .vbproj folder and pointing it to localhost (it is
currently set to the production server name), and that doesn't work.

Even swearing at it hasn't helped.

I'm to the point of considering re-installing Visual Studio 2003 on my PC,
thinking that something's corrupt.

Help!!
