Okay, don't know if you ever got an intelligent answer, but here it goes. I had some problem when TSS first was released, and I ended up having to do a complete file check. That check found a few files which probably got corrupted during download, and that fixed my graphics problems. You might also want to uncheck and recheck the TSS download block in the download menu. If that doesnt work, go to the Sony site and get in line for a troubleshooting chat; you paid for it, so it damn well should work!
