Hi all. Hope this helps someone in the future.
The nVidia DDS 'save as' function does not work in PS 64 bit, so after some searching , I found the following:
A thread on the subject http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62179
and a link to the exporter download you will need http://docs.kaneva.com/mediawiki/index.php/Photoshop_DDS_Exporter#Download
You will also need to install the nVidia Texture Tools 2 http://developer.nvidia.com/object/texture_tools.html
Once downloaded, extract the files into the photoshop folder 'presets/scripts' like this:
Then in Photoshop CS5 64 bit, once you have got your files ready for DDS export with alpha etc., use the 'file' - 'scripts' drop down, which will look like this now:
Once selected, a DDS Exporter window will pop up with options for file types like this:
The other files types in the drop down list are :
I do hope this helps someone along the way in the future, good luck.
Paul
