First-chance exception during loading dll files in VS2010

I am using MFC in Visual Studio 2010. I am modifying a code done by someone else. VS2010 loads some files, but on loading the last dll file i am getting

First-chance exception: Microsoft C++ exception: at memory location 0x0014faa0..

I am wondering, is there a way to put a breaking point on loading dll files? the exception happens when VS load a 3rd party dll file.

It may be OK if you see first-chance expection according to this blog:

Quoted below:

Does a first chance exception mean there is a problem in my code?

First chance exception messages most often do not mean there is a problem in the code. For applications / components which handle exceptions gracefully, first chance exception messages let the developer know that an exceptional situation was encountered and was handled.

There is no need to worry about first-chance exceptions in third-party code, as that may be a normal part of their execution. If the third-party code does not handle the exception, it will become a second-chance exception, and then you know something is wrong.
