That code is two statements. It should either have a semicolon

print"Game Over"; raw_input("\n\nPress Enter Key to exit")

or be entered on two lines

print"Game Over"
raw_input("\n\nPress Enter Key to exit")

I don't know what system you are running on, but print just prints to 
the window you are running in and does not bring up a new window.
