If you still cannot see the contents of the DDS file, but also don't see the need to install dedicated software, then there are other solutions. Many file types are simply text files or data archives. In this case, it is likely that you will be able to view the contents of DDS with a normal "Notepad". This solution does not guarantee that the problem will be solved, but it will often allow you to view the data in the DDS file to some extent.

As in the case of Notepad, you can also use the data archiving program. Check if you can open your file with eg Winrar. If our theory proves to be correct, you should see the tree of files contained in the archive.
