I'm trying to convert a BMP file to DDS on DDS Converter 2, by Yannick Leon, but every time the conversion fails. It says "Error: [file name.bmp] size = not a power of 2". What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

it means that the size of your texture is not in the correct size
each dimension of the texture should be x^2 where x is any number, this gives you numbers:
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096
and so on
resize your texture to have each dimension any of those numbers, and you'll be fine

A little correction here: 2^x; (or [math]2^x[/math]) with x being a positive integer (or 0).
And you can add to that list 1 pixel too (2^0).

what use is a texture 1 pixel wide/tall? you may as well just define no texture and then assign different coloured materials

It could be 1 pixel tall but 1024 pixels wide for example with every pixel colored differently (and such textures could be used for Celestia type planetary rings).
