My guess would be that the windows firewall or UAC are blocking it. You can look those up because I have no idea where anything is in Win 8 as I'm still on Win 7.

If necessary, update Java to version 7, latest update.

Next up, download the newest Tekkit client.

Then right-click the tekkit client and choose 'Run as Administrator' if available. (As said above)

The very last thing you _could_ try is copying the .technic folder from %appdata%\.technic, from your to her computer. (backup, backup, backup!!)
