Molecular graphics

Is anyone using the Viewer (from Accelrys) with VB 2005
It is an ActiveX component for 3D Molecular (OpenGL) graphics.
It is one of the elements that did not successfully make the transiton from VB6 to VB2005.

In VB2005 (express or VS2005) I could add the COM reference to the ToolBox.
The code accepts the usual commands for "AxViewerControl401".
I can compile the program.
But any attempts to run the statements will cause an error: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

Alternative: Can anyone suggest another source for such graphics
