    Follow this procedure even if it makes no sense.

    Thanks, everyone, for the help.

    Petey's solution resolved the problem. It was the registry patch from Sony. Amazing how it can be the smallest thing.

    Now, I'd like to see what it changed in the registry. Release notes would've been nice, Sony!

    Again, thanks for the help and the solution!
