The only real solution is to go to your local PC store and purchase a Network Interface Card for around about £15 and install it, then she will get online.

What a load of rubbish.
The USB Adaptor was/is just a Network Interface that plugs into the USB Port, I gave mine away to my granddad to network his 2 PCs as I just used a router from the start.
The OP has said there is already a network card in the PC so there is no need to go and buy another, if neither the USB Adapter nor the Network card has been able to pick up an IP address there is an apparent software issue.
