It's probably more of an issue with the ming32 compilation of QT 4.2.2- eh?

I doubt I could do that to an degree of success.
I don't know C++ and would likely add more problems to this trying to
get there, than there
already are. If there is anything else I can to move this along, let me know.

This I can do- will report back results tonight

It sounds reasonable.

However, I have tried this where I work (from my laptop), which has a
lot of networked drives, and at home (from the same laptop), where I
have a wireless network, but do not have any drives mapped.

I need to reinstall Py2.5, and the same version of QT, sip, PyQt on my
desktop machine at home and try the same thing.
