The first thing that happens when you open an old file is that SubRip asks you what CodePage/CharSet to use to convert to UniCode. Chose the values you want, then press "Done". Then all the other options will be enabled again.
The whole purpose of this is to deal with non-standard CharSets. For example, for Eastern European, if you don't choose that CharSet, some UniCode characters (the diacritics) will be converted to the wrong values. The reason the text shows is so that you can try different CharSets until you are satisfied with the conversion.
Anyway, I recommend other tools for better OCR and spelling correction, like SubtitleWorkshop.
