Need help turning TGAs into DDS for my Mod

Edit: Gah meant to put this in Modification Troubleshooting...

 

 

Seeing as my thread asking for help with this in the Mod Request forum is being ignored (5 views all mine and it's already on page 3...), I'm reposting it here because I can't finish the project without help.

 

So getting straight to the point I can't convert TGAs into the Fallout 3 DDS format*, though I can turn DDS into TGAs (DDS reader application), now I've extracted the textures I wanted to edit (Wastehound Helmet ones - note I also edited the alpha channels so they have to be intact after conversion) but now I can't convert them back into FO3 friendly DDS to put into GECK. So I need help from someone who can convert TGA into DDS.

 

The TGAs are here using 7z compression (apparently the forums don't allow 7z attachments):

If someone could help me out it would be appreciated.

 

 

* =

1. The Nvidia DDS plugin doesn't support Paint Shop Pro XI (and I don't have Photoshop nor the hundreds in cash to get it).

2. I'm on Vista so the DDS Converter 2 from the Nexus Mod Database doesn't work on my computer (it only works on XP apparently).

 

 

 

- ABOUT THE MOD -

 

What this mod will hopefully do is remove the hair tufts and mohawk from the Raider Wastehound Helmet, using a technique told to me by vampirecosmonaut who's black pimp hat has no feather because he blacked it out of the Euology Pimp Hat texture file Alpa Channel.

 

I previously mentioned my desire to have such a version of the Wastehound helmet in my original MOD REQUESTS thread. Said thread also contains a picture of what I hope it will look like.

Syntax helped change the TGA into a DDS but obviously I screwed something up beforehand because I'm getting a ton of errors when trying to implement it into GECK...

Ugh I have no idea what to do now...
