This seems a little unusual - it crashes more than its own process? If you use Start... Run and type in "cmd" (or use the "Command Prompt" icon, whereever that is), and invoke Python from there, it crashes cmd as well as Python? If so, I'd be suspecting either some really weird bug in the Python interpreter (try upgrading to 2.7), or a hardware fault in your computer (try running MemTest or running it on a different computer).
