Recoloring with Simpe- "Build DXT" is greyed out

[redhottgarbage]

Hi
I've been learning to recolor with SimPe (version .52) by using this tutorial:
http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=102356

I've followed all instructions correctly, as far as I can tell, and when I get to the part where i am supposed to do this:

"When you have edited and saved the texture, it's time to import it back into SimPE.
Right-click on the image and choose Build DXT."

I have trouble. The "Build DXT" is greyed out for me on my screen, I can not figure out why.

Does anyone know why this might be?

Did you skip this step in the tutorial?
The Nvidia DDS Utilities: get them from this (http://developer.nvidia.com/object/dds_utilities.html) page and install them, just like any Windows program; then, start SimPE, select the menu Extra / Preferences and fill in the field "Nvidia DDS Tools" with the exact installation path (you can use the "Browse" button to easier find the exact folder where the DDS Utilities are installed).
