With pygame 1.8.1 the message also appears after calling
pygame.display.set_mode(size) and then the program
terminates with pygame.error: No available video device
MSDN mentions that GetRawInputDeviceList is available starting from Windows XP

I hope Windows 2000 is still supported by pygame, isn't it?
