Windows 7: WMP 12 won't play .srt subtitles

Hey all, hope I am posting in the correct section..

Using Windows 7 Home Premium x64, trying to get WMP 12 to play .srt files with my movies.

I have successfully got the VLC player to show the subs, so the .srt file itself works.

I have installed DirectVOBSub 2.41 x64 codec, tried numerous codecs and nothing works..

Tried walkthroughs on forums with no success.

Any help?

uninstall all codec installations
install the Win7codecs with the x64 addon

In the Settings Application(s), disable the DMO codecs on the SWAP TAB

I uninstalled the Windows 7 codec pack I was using and the DirectVOBSub codec.

Installed the shark007 Windows 7 codecs and the x64 components addon.

Disabled DMO codecs in the swap tab as requested.

Still not showing subs...

Not sure what I am doing wrong..

Thanks for the reply!!!!! Any more ideas?

i assumed the file you were playing was an AVI.
What is the filetype?

Mp4

for an MP4, disable the Microsoft Video decoder on the SWAP TAB

PRO!

Dude thank you.

+1 for Shark007

I tried the previous directions...

...but still can't see .srt subtitles for an .avi file.

Please help?
