It they are different versions (i.e. 2005, 2008, 2010) there shouldn't be a problem.
If you try the same version (2008 express with 2008 pro), this is also supported.
What will not work is trying Standard with Pro (for example).
See the answers on this SO question (Can several suites of the same version of Visual Studio be installed Side by Side ?).

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. The biggest issue you will run into is that it will change the file associations for the solution and project files so they open in VS2008 Express rather then VS2008 by default when you double-click the file in Explorer. Other than that, I experienced no other issues when I had both installed. (I also installed VS2008 Express after VS2008.)
