For her and anyone else that doesn't have a PC tech in the family that lives close by I highly recommend buying a blank CD or DVD (assuming you have a CD/DVD burner in your computer), downloading one of many "live linux" (google it), and burn it to a disk, just for such an emergency. There are many popular ones to choose from. I recommend Linux Mint or Ubuntu but the most recent versions of both will only fit on a DVD. Knoppix is a long time favorite and still has a "CD" version as well.
A "live linux" CD or DVD (there are ways to install to a USB thumb drive as well) lets you insert the disc into any computer (with a compatible drive... or USB port) and restart the computer "booting" it from the software contained on the disc you made *instead* of the software ("operating system", i.e., windows). This will let you troubleshoot the computer, access the internet, and even access all your files on the broken computer before you do a re-install of windows. It doesn't install anything or change any of your computer settings automatically so it's a good thing to have if you are using a "loaner" computer too. Combined with a blank USB thumb drive you can even save work in progress or retrieve files from a corrupt windows computer.
Linux is NOT windows but most windows users won't find the environment so foreign that they can't find their way around things... About as different as Mac OSX is to windows... different but not so different as to be impossible to use.
Puppy linux is faaaassssst and small!

A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.
Rounds may last anywhere from 16 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!
We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can only make picks for the current round.
The game ends when the sheet is filled. We then announce the winning pick.
You can pick new numbers with each round. You retain all of your picks until the end of the contest. When the board is full....one winner will be chosen via random.org
ETA: day-um dat turtle is fast
