Is she in admin?
Some times in vista you need to disable the UAC to read a file (ie hosts), only do this temp though, re-able it after you have looked at what you wanted to see and possibly dis connect from the internet while you do that as the UAC is there to protect you from things that you do not want installing on your computer by making you ask permission for that program.

Take ownership of a file or folder

I know this is about deleting a file, but the same applies
