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,
