I was wondering if anyone else has managed to get DDS Converter 2.1 working on Windows 7? It's freeware capable of batch-converting .DDS files to/from a variety of formats (including JPEG, PNG, and BMP). It's incredibly useful for various aspects of modding and modeling in general, and I used it quite often on my Windows XP machine. Right now I'm trying to make a map of Soluthis by converting the Construction Set's own generated DDS screenshots (through local maps) and converting them to PNG.
The problem is that after I install the program and run it, I can't select any files. They show up in the browser screen, but the program neither generates a preview or allows me to click on the "Convert" button. Does anyone have any ideas? Or suggestions as to an alternative program?
I've tried running Compatibilty mode with Windows XP (both Service Packs 2 & 3), and running as an administrator, but that doesn't change anything.
If you don't have it but you're curious, you can download the installer for DDS Converter 2.1 here.
