Subtitles wont work: XP and vobsub involved

[Sousuke]

Here is the issue.
I used to have winME and ran bsplayer 084 along with VOBsub to watch my anime.

A normal anime ep would come with its subitle files in this format:
nadesico ep1.avi
nadesico ep1.sub
nadesico ep1.idx
nadesico ep1.ifo

So whenever i ran the avi file, vobsub automatically loaded and loaded the subtitles.

Now I have XP and this is what happened:
whenever i double click on the avi file, bsplayer would load, vobsub would load but in the middle of the loading process bsplayer would just autoclose itself.

I upgraded bsplayer to see if that was the problem, but then isntead of autoclosing, bsplayer would just throw an error message.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!
