Problem with a COM control...

I purchased an ActiveX control from someone a few years ago. It's a
checklistbox. It's works kind of quirky in my VB2005 Windows Forms
app. They have a new version of the checklistbox that I just got from
them. It was created in May 2005. When I open my program now, it bombs
out and just disappears. When I open it again I get the message:

"An error was encountered while opening associated documents the last
time this solution was loaded. Document load is being skipped during
this solution load in order to avoid that error."

It will open the second time, then when I try to open the Form
Designer of the form that contains the checklistbox, Visual Studio
disappears again.

I tried deleting the form that contains the checklistbox and then
recreating it with the new checklistbox. As long as I keep the form
design open I have no problem. If I switch to the code and then try to
switch back to the design, VS disappears again.

The program will compile and run just fine.

Is there a log file somewhere that gives the error or some way to keep
VS open when it encounters the error?
