Question : How can I close a splash screen during the main form's Load event?

I have an application that performs a series of tests during the main form Load event. I want to display error messages when a test fails, but the problem I am having is that the splash screen is rendered on top of the message box, and I cant close the splash screen because I dont have access to the splash screen object (I think windows creates it in a different threat).
Is there anything I can do to allow me to close the splash screen before the main form is finished loading? Alternativaly, is there anything I can do to render messageboxes on top of the splash screen?

    End Sub

    Private Sub CloseSplash()
        Me.Close()
