You have to use DXTbmp to open and view any texture files saved in DXt1 or DXt3 format. Some of the other formats you can see in preview, but they still will not open in paint programs.

You can get DXtbmp and the required DLL package from Martin Wright's site:

Make sure you have the DLL package downloaded and installed. Without those DLL files installed, none or Martin's programs will function properly.

If you use winzip, there is an option in the menu bar called "Vew": click it after select a texture file in the archive, and then tick the button labelled Viewer in the emerging window; search the path for your DXTbmp.exe, then click view and you are set to open the textures with this program.
