Exactly, setup dog-basic user account, tell her it's to stop virus installs etc. If she gets any problems you can check the software she is looking to install.
Best of all though is to get her a laptop (they are cheap and you never know what to buy her for xmas etc) Put a clean build on and be ready to scrub it and reinstall as soon as it plays up/runs like a dog. She will soon get sick of having all her data scrubbed (bung her a usb key to store it on)
