Weird. Is it an XP machine?

Yes.

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?

What?
The Python is 2.5.4.

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()

>>> pygame.display.init()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
pygame.display.init()
error: No available video device
