To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install pygame
2. Test initial code in QuickStartGuide (this works fine)
3. Install pygame_gui using the exact commands in the QuickStartGuide
4. Test the next block of code

Expected behaviour I expect that when I run the next block of code (or any code with pygame_gui imported), I don't get any bugs. This code, for example, should render the window with a button. However it also crashes:
