No Subtitles avi+srt

When playing avi file, with a same name srt file in the same folder, I can´t
get the subtitles to display.
I've allowed tools-options-security-display local subtitles when available,
and play-subtitles-when available.
What else should I do?

I've downloaded DirectVobSub and it works. Thanks.

I've the same problem as Neil Smith. I've followed all the steps (allowed
tools-options-security-display local subtitles when available and
DirectVobSub) but I haven't found "play-subtitles-when available" and I not
able to play .srt subs.
