Argh, I overlooked the simple thing, yes I installed 64bit python (not sure why I did that...). I'll try 32bit python with 32bit pygame.
Thanks!

Since pygame has compiled .pyd files, that probably would not work. On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 18:51, Scott K. <slandsh...@hotmail.com> wrote: Hey everyone, hopefully this email works. This is my first time using a mailing list (crazy, I know). Anyway, I am having trouble getting python to recognize (import) pygame. I am running vista 64bit, I have Python 2.6.2 installed (works fine), I installed pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi into my directory that contains python 2.6.2. When I open IDLE and try: import pygame I get this error: IDLE 2.6.2 >>> import pygame Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import pygame File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 95, in <module> from pygame.base import * ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. I do see the pygame folder listed here root:\python26\include\pygame I also see the pygame folder listed here root:\python26\lib\site-packages\pygame I'm not sure what else I'm missing here.
