Feia, I just did a conversion from a V2 Dress using the "V3 to V2" figure that you get with the V3 package, and it worked. I haven't tried anything with a hood though, but the body part seems to work ok. Also, my problem wasn't compressed files, it was something corrupt in my poser 5. I did a fresh install of Poser 5 and I was able to convert from and convert to, using all compressed files for the clothing and figures.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
