gergster, my gut reaction has to do with her permissions. Perehaps you need (as administrator) to raise her level. What if you (as administrator) create a shortcut on her desktop? Will that work?

It really sounds like you need to set the users privileges.

Have you tried the scandisk? Go to Start-> Run and type CMD type this command:

sfc /scannow

this command will check for corrupted or missing system files.
