Perhaps a python module in your desktop has a name conflicting with a  
standard module?

- On the Start menu, navigate to the IDLE item, but dont click it.
- RIGHT click on it, and select Properties. Copy the Destination field.  
Should be something like "C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat"
- Open a cmd window (console), paste the above text and press Enter.
- Almost certainly you'll get an error; post here the full error and  
traceback.
