Learning to use computers in Spanish.

Is there a good Spanish-language primer/course/guide for beginners wanting to learn Windows?
My landlords are great, and I try to help them with things since they've helped me out when I was losing my job and going broke and stuff like that. The wife does a lot of writing for her church group, so she's somewhat proficient with opening documents and printing, but not much beyond that. She's told me she wants to learn more about computering, particularly internet use and the more in-depth word processing functions, but this is something I've proven to be really bad at doing.
Her English is much better than my Spanish, but she's still most comfortable with Spanish, and her version of Windows Vista is a Spanish-language one. I don't even know what kind of learning software there is out there. Are videos better? Are there more integral ones with "click here" directions? Please guide me.
Cost isn't an issue, within reason, if it will buy a more effective product.

Depends on the learner. Some people like books. A good place to start is the library where if you live somewhere with a decent latino population will have lots of books in Spanish on Windows, etc.
I can't remember the brand names, but there's also lots of companies for computer skills in Spanish I've seen advertised on Univision/Telemundo/etc.
