Tools Menu   

I have media player 11, but it will not play any type of video. I have 
downloaded a decodere for DVDs and all codecs I can find, but tnothing. When 
I search help FAQs, almos all start with  "Go to Tools, Options, Performance. 
I have no toolbar or buttons like this in Windows Media Player. Is there 
somewhere else to look? ....or any idea why i cannot play any video formats?

RE: Tools Menu   

I finally found the tools - in classic view, however, I do not see anywhere 
to adjust video acceleration - if that would be any help in light of the fact 
that I cannot play any formats. 

I forgot to mention that this is a new install of Vista replacing XP 
(everything played then)
