Opening ArcMap project errors

Problem:

The user receives multiple error messages and has general functionality issues when opening an ArcMap project with the 32 bit LP360 extension enabled. Example error message could be: PCTasksContentsView::ConnectToTrans(): Map object is null.

Probable Resolution #1:

This issue is related to the user opening an existing project, that was saved with the point cloud tasks tab open. The errors on open should only occur if the user has saved in this fashion and opening an ArcMap project from Windows Explorer, instead of the ArcMap GUI. If the user saves the project without the PCT tasks tab open or opens the saved project from the ArcMap GUI, this issue should not occur.
