GIMP 2.0 DDS converter problem

[Feet]

Hi ho.

So I a have a problem. Yesterday I converted the jpegs I wanted to use for my leaderheads into DDS format and they worked fine. I could open and edit them and then resave them, no problems.

Today I tried to open them up again and I get this error.

I can't open and it would not show a preview of the file.

Anyone know what's wrong? I haven't changeed anything so far as I'm aware with GIMP. The only thing that may have affected them was that my first attempt at using them in Civ4 went wrong (got the xml wrong ), but I can't see how this would affect it.

I've deleted the converter plugin files, rebooted and then reinstalled the files and I can now get it to preview the .dds file but it still won't open them.

I guess I'll have to try completely reinstalling GIMP. Man what alot of effort.

The error says that there's an unexpected end of file. This might be because it's in the wrong format or that the program stopped writing the file to disk prematurely. So, my suggestion would be to try it again and monitor what happens.
