It should?  I just tried this on another Windows PC - a laptop with an
older (4.3.0) binary installation of PyQt.  Jpeg image support worked
fine.  But images quit working after I upgraded to the 4.4.3 binary
installation.

The only thing that is slightly unusual about both of these PCs is that
I don't have an admin login - I'm just a regular user.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Doug.
