Subject: Failed Upgrade
Last
year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed
that the new program began unexpected child processing
that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product
brochure.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs
and launches during system
initialization, where it monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Smoking 10.3, Boozing 2.5 and Saturday
Night Pubs 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever
selected.
I cannot keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting
to run some of my other favorite applications like Night
Club 4.3, Dance 'n' Drink 2.0 and Bachelor Party 7.77.
I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but
the uninstall does not work on this program.
Once I tried to uninstall Wife 1.0 but got this error:
"General Protection Fault in module House Security.
The Uninstallation will abort."
Can you help me, please?
Here was the reply from Tech Support:
Re: Failed Upgrade
This is a very common problem among men, but it is due
mostly to a primary misconception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with
the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
program.
Wife 1.0 is actually an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed
by its creator to run everything.
It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and
still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0.
It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge Wife 1.0
from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0
is not designed to do this.
Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0
but end up with more problems than the
original system.
Look in your manual under "Warnings-Alimony/Child
Support;" this was given to you at time of registration
with Wife 1.0.
I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest
you read the entire section regarding General Partnership
Faults (GPFs).!
The best course of action will be to enter the command
C:\APOLOGIZE.
In fact I would suggest you use this command every time
Wife 1.0 crashes on your system.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance.
Consider buying additional software
to improve the performance of Wife 1.0.
I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0 or Movies 4.5.
Do not, under any circumstances, install Visual Secretary
With Short Skirt 3.3.
This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is
likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Recent surveys show add-ons like Visual Dress 2.0, Diamond
Necklace 3.0, and
A Quick Tour To Temple 1.0 are the best Third Party tools
supported by Wife 1.0
to allow it to run smoothly and effectively.
Best of luck!
