[ART] Newbie Model/Texture Importing To Amnesia Problems

[The Shanus]

Something must be borked with your installation of Max? 3D's max can handle .dds textures perfectly well.

Supposedly there's an issue with max 9 when running on vista which prevents it from reading dds, are you on windows vista?

No, I'm on Windows 7 32-Bit. The problem is when I try to use the texture as the bitmap for the diffuse of the material. It works as .jpeg, but there is no .dds from the dropdown list of acceptable formats, so I put it as all formats and use the full "name.dds", and then it gives me the error that it is an invalid file type.
