You may be right. I was running 64 bit python and 32 bit pygame.

Hi Make sure that your python and pygame version have the same bit-ness (64 bit python can't load pygame compiled for 32 bit and vice versa). The only pygame 64 bit Version I know can be found here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame Hope that helps. ~DR0ID
