Edit: Scratch that; PSP won't open anything I extract with s3pe, despite my having the DDS plugin.

Try changing the extension on the end from .bnry to .dds. Some programs don't view it as a .DDS when extracted. If you're using a 64-bit operating system the DDS plugins don't play nice with Vista. I can't get it to open DDS files with the plugin either. It'll save alright but opening the DDS it just gives me the same error you get. I've just given up on using PSP until NVidia releases plugins that work on Vista 64-bit.
You can however open with GIMP, paste the DDS into PSP, do your editing and paste it back into GIMP for the save. The only problem with this is if you're doing something like clothing that has a blank background in some areas when it's pasted back into GIMP it's a solid color. So I just use the select tool to outline my image and fill the background with a solid color not present in the image. I find hot pink works pretty good for most things. Then I just use GIMPs color selection tool to select anything pink and delete it.
It took Regina's instructions below in order to get PSP to even use the plugins to save...

#1. DDS Support for PhotoShop (yes, it works with PSP but please follow the instructions for installation for PSP9): Download the plugin from here: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/...ds_plugins.html The plugin has a self installer which by default asks where your PhotoShop folder is. Point it to your PSP folder, which typically is at Program File>Jasc Software Inc>Paint Shop Pro 9. The installer will create a folder within your Paint Shop Pro 9 folder called Plug-ins and install the DDS support files in there. IMPORTANT: You MUST move those files from the newly created folder to the folder named PlugIns within your PSP9 folder. If you don't already have a PlugIns folder in your PSP folder, you can rename the new one. If that folder has the wrong name, PSP can't read the plug-in. NOTE: If you have PSP running while you install the DDS plugin, just close out of it and restart for it to pick up the DDS plugin.
