  …i answered my own question… When in doubt.. go to Microsoft….

  SYMPTOMS
  When you play a media clip in Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, the caption bar appears without the caption text. This problem occurs if the media source uses Microsoft Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) closed-caption captioning. The problem also occurs in other Microsoft multimedia programs, such as Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia.

  Note The media source can be a CD, a hard disk, or a media file that is saved on your local computer.
