Please show the code that causes the error.

Did you download the correct version of vpython?

Python, and many extension modules, is written in C. On Windows it is
compiled with MS Visual Studio and uses the MS runtime.

You might want to ask on the vpython mailing list. Include the exact
code you are running and the version of Windows you are using in your
email.
