Problem with importing Quake2/md2 models

Hi everybody,
I'm currently fiddling around with the Trial Version (3.12.0004), and one of the first things I wanted to try is loading a md2 model... mostly just for the fun of it.
However now it took me at least 2 hours until I found out how to convert those REALLY old QuakeI-models into md2, but if I try to add them into Vizard (via viz.add), I get the following:

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 11, in ?
  File "VizardTutorial1.py", line 5, in ?
    ogre = viz.add('ogre.MD2')
  File "F:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard30/python\viz.py", line 8575, in add
    raise ValueError, 'Unrecognized file extension: '+fileType
ValueError: Unrecognized file extension: MD2
I also downloaded some random md2 models from the web, and ran into the same error message... is it a problem of the Trial Version, my files, or is this format just not supported anymore?

Any suggestions into which format I should convert the md2-file to, in order to oblige Vizard most likely? I already tried Blender, but somehow the textures got lost on the way (the plain meshes worked, though!)...
