I have problem here what happen without any of window updates and there's
black background in closed captions it was great and i start to have problem
I had to get window update nowafter complete window update it change to white
background in closed captions. I could not read the closed captions when the
TV show like in white cloud or white shirt or white banner its impossible to
read. How do I change back to black background in closed caption? what file
name or if there's regedit to change or patch to fix that problem or Add on
or plug in to add font and color for closed captions?

I search everywhere on internet seem nobody want to solved it and there's
few of them complain about it.

Hey Microsoft, don't tell me its going to be next service pack or whatever,
I need it now. I just got rid of 3 old VCRS and no more tapes and I'm running
on MCE. I like MCE so far... but disppointment with closed caption in white
background it's so hard to read caption in white TV shows or movies. I dont
know why they put white background in first place??? I guess they think it's
so cool but that's so WRONG!

Let me know how to fix that problem,
Thanks

You might want to try futzing around with the reg key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center\Settings\VideoSettings

The CC settings are all the values that start with CC.

Of course, make sure you have a backup of your registry in case you screw
things up beyond saving... and all the other usual registry caveats.

I guess nobody know how to fix that...
Is there a tool like Tweak for closed captions to adjust or changes?
