If you do not get a satisfactory answer here, try the pygame mailing
list. In general, questions about third-party packages are best asked
on package-specific forums.

Idea: perhaps your system is underpowered for running both XP and a
movie.

just guessing, but that busy loop might suck up more spare cycles
than you have. try inserting a short sleep:

while 1:
if not movie.get_busy( ):
break
time.sleep(0.1)
