Tell her to select the Win7 (make sure she's selecting the correct one,
there generally are 3 entries - one for restore etc), and as soon as she
hits 'Enter' tell her to immediately press F8. If the Win7 boot is
instact she'll get a dos type screen with Advanced Boot Options:
- Repair you computer
- Safe mode
- Safe mode with Networking
- Safe mode with Command Prompt
etc.
Can't help you much beyond that as I only boot into Win7 for testing on
occasion.

If F8 doesn't get her to the Win7 ABO screen, then perhaps try the link
