windows media player does not display subtitles

Hello again Microsoft Support forum,

I have a very, very weird problem of late.
My windows media player(12) seems unable to display subtitles. AT all. I've checked and re-checked settings, everything seems ok.
What's even more bizarre is that Windows Media Center can play the subtitles just fine.

checked movie file and sub file names, they match
downloaded directvobsub plug in
played around with some settings in Windows Media player, still not working.

I am running on windows 7 x64 professional.

Hi,
This is the solution you are looking for:
It uses Media Foundation which is the "natural" way for WMP.
All the other tricks for viewing subtitles tamper with system files and use directshow instead of Media Foundation.
I have tried the proposed solution and it works.
Just don't forget to reboot before using the subtitles.
