Your description of the  problem isn't quite clear. If you haven't, I
suggest you:

* Download Python 3.4 from here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-343/

(Either the "Windows x86-64 MSI installer" or the "Windows x86 MSI
installer" depending on whether you want 64 or 32-bit respectively)

Run the installer and accept the defaults (unless you have a clear
reason to do otherwise)

* Then download the corresponding version of Pygame from here:

https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads

Either:

https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_ea3b3bb8714a.win32-py3.4.msi

for 32-bit; or

https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_8d9e6a1f2635+.win-amd64-py3.4.msi

for 64-bit

Run the installer and accept the defaults

* Then you should be able to start Python and import pygame

If you still have problems, please post back here to see if we can help you.
