Take a trip to your local Microsoft vendor and part with some cash.

The old 'I upgraded my machine and it doesn't work' situation.

I've lost time of the number of times that's happened to me. These days I leave the original machine as is & stick a VM in it to save the hassle.

Google my boy. Google.

Buy her a MacBook! If she can't suss out problems with her own PC then she doesn't deserve a real computer.

The drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturers site.
