i know how to do this and it works fine BUT!.
is there a way of ticking the forced display on all the subtitles in one go.
i tried changing the .son file where it says non_forced to forced which someone suggested but still no joy.

any suggestions welcome please.

hi oddyseus.
it was you who suggested it i think, this is the file un-changed

st_format 2
Display_Start non_forced
TV_Type PAL
Tape_Type NON_DROP
Pixel_Area (0 575)
Directory C:\dvd rip 1
Contrast ( 15 0 15 15 )

#
# Palette entries:
#
# 00 : RGB(255,255, 0)
# 01 : RGB(131,127, 0)
# 02 : RGB( 8, 0, 0)
#

SP_NUMBER START END FILE_NAME
Color (0 1 2 3)
Display_Area (000 000 719 573)
0001 00:02:11:11 00:02:13:08 mummy00001.bmp
Display_Area (000 000 719 573)
0002 00:02:32:08 00:02:34:00 mummy00002.bmp
Display_Area (000 000 719 573)
0003 00:02:41:10 00:02:42:18 mummy00003.bmp
Display_Area (000 000 719 573)
0004 00:02:43:10 00:02:44:16 mummy00004.bmp

and so on.
like you suggested i tried,
Display_Start forced
also tried
Display_Start Forced
even though none of these automatically ticked the forced display option i still compiled just so i could have a look on powerdvd.

be gratefull for any suggestion.

have to check it out this evening. I am at work and dont have any material with me right now.

Alternately u can switch to stl format. Subrip supports it. In there u will change the command to

$ForceDisplay = YES

this is a working solution also. Can't understand why it doesn't work for u.

does ne other has the same problem?

Yes, I have the same problem too (DVDMaestro 2.9 build 2915a). It looks that DVDMaestro doesn't support "Display_Start" tag. I have looked into binaries and all other tags are present instead of this one. But $ForceDisplay in form of STL is supported.
