Okay, first, I moved your Discussion from the Windows Community into the Other Software & Services Community. Your problem is not with Windows but with Windows Media Player.

Now, I do not use WMP but here is what you would do to adjust the sub-title color:

• Open Windows Media Player

• Click on the down arrow under any of the option at the top

• Click on More Options

• In the secondary window, click the DVD tab

• Click on the Advanced button

• In the third window, scroll down till you see the "Subtitle" section and make sure there is a check mark next to it

• Select the Font subsection

• Within that section, you will see "Color" on the left side in between "Weight" and "Autosize"

• Click on the box next to "Color" and choose whatever color you want the subtitles to be

• Click OK to close the color window.....Apply and then OK to close the subtitle window....and Apply and then OK to close the Options window

• Right Click anywhere in the upper portion of Windows Media Player and put your cursor over Help and then click on About Windows Media Player

• The version I have is 11.0.5721.5230

• If you do not have at least this version, click OK to close that window, repeat the above step and when you put your cursor over Help, click Check for Updates...

• Question: Are you the only user of this computer? If not, are you an Administrative user of this computer?

• Open the Control Panel and click on User Accounts

• Click on "Create a New Account"

• Type in any name you want for the new account and click *Next>"

• On the next screen, make sure "Computer Administrator" is selected and click "Create Account"

Now, once the new User is created, log off and log back on under that new User. Once you are logged in under the new User, try to access the same DVD options within Windows Media Player.

• I have heard that the UAC (User Access Control) plays havoc with certain applications. I highly doubt this is the reason but disable the UAC, at least temporarily, and see if you have access to the Advanced DVD options. If you are not sure how to disable the UAC, follow the instructions with this Document or within this tutorial.

• There may be a registry conflict that is affecting the way your specific Windows Media Player performs and can be used. Instead of trying to mess with the registry, I would advise completely removing Windows Media Player 11 from your computer and then reinstalling it directly from Microsoft by clicking here.

• You indicated that about two weeks ago you noticed the yellowish subtitles. If you have not done so, a System Restore may reverse any registry changes that may be preventing you from fully utilizing all the options within Windows Media Player. Now, as you may or may not know, System Restore will not delete files you have saved. It will only reverse and system changes. Any applications that you installed after the date you choose for your System Restore will have to be reinstalled.

Other than these last three options, I am not sure what else you can do to get full access to the Advanced DVD options.
