Weird. Is it an XP machine? If so, I'd suggest running different
windb or directx video drivers to see if one of the other works.
Could be a directx bug (or windb).
What is pyshell?
I'm assuming display is the one that failed... but maybe it's not...
and it's decided it doesn't like that mode?
>>> pygame.display.init()
>>> pygame.display.list_modes()
cheers,
