For some reason... I can't view subtitles in my videos...?

[darkzero297]

I am playing a video now and it does have a subtitle track in it because when I check its properties it says this among some other things:

"Subtitle: Advanced SubStation Alpha [English, English Subtitle (Subtitle 1)]"

I'm using CCCP with Windows Media player Classic and when I'm playing the video, I cannot seem to turn the subtitles on, I can't even click on the option because it is unavailable. I click on the play menu and I can see all of these options but the one for subtitles is in a very light font colour and I can't click on it.

How can I fix this?

Go into MPC's Options > Playback > Output and make sure your settings are those of the ** kind required for MPC to load subs.
ie. VMR9 Renderless and DirectX 9

Is there something that I need to view subs. This didn't work. It would appear as though I have nothing but the defaults, are there any other settings or any other programs or codecs that I need to install?

Oh, wait nevermind. I had to quit then restart media player before I could see them lolz.
