    Don't bump so quickly.

    If you tell us "it won't work," we'll tell you "give us the error report." Simply saying something doesn't work is useless.

    The Wikipedia article for that format lists multiple programs/plugins you can use. Have you tried them?

    Judo is right.

    Really, i guess try reinstalling the .dds converter.

    actually, you can just use VTF Edit. It allows you to import .dds files then export as .bmp.

    -Open VTFEdit.

    -press control + I.

    -Locate your .dds file. it should import and be viewable.

    -Press Control + E to export, and choose .bmp format.

    -done.
