Dear Tech Support,
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 Pokernight
10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing
the system whenever selected. I can not 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 the
un-install does not work on this program.
Can you help me, please!!!
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 can not 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 (GPFs). 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. In any case avoid excessive use of the Esc key because
ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating
system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take
the blame for all the GPFs. 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,
Tech Support
