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 Poker Night 10.3, Drunken
Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the
system whenever selected. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the
background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications.
I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but uninstall does not
work on this program.
Can you help me!! Thanks,
Joe

Dear Joe:
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due 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 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. Hidden operating
files
within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so
nothing
is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the
program files 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." 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.
P.S. You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might
occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to
enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. The system will run smoothly as long as you take
the blame for all the errors.
P.P.S. 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. Do not, under any
circumstances, install 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.
Best of Luck.
