What version of IDLE are you using? That used to be a common
error message but since Python v2.6 I've never had it. If its an older
version than that you could try upgrading your Python version.

Other than that there is a dedicated IDLE mailing list which
is quite responsive and should be able to help if you don't
get an answer here. The gmane link is:

gmane.comp.python.idle
