Girlfriend Upgraded
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that
the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of
space and valuable resources. No mention of this was included with the
product information. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other
programs and now launches during system initialization, where it monitors
all other system activity.
Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Fishing 7.5, and
Golfing 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I
can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my
favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0,
but
the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!!!!!!

Dear Troubled User:
This is due to a very common problem that generates many complaints. It is
due to a primary misconception generally by male users. Many people
upgrade
from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that it is merely a "Utilities
and
Entertainment program".
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its creator to run
everything! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and return to
Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating systems files 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 designed to disallow this.
Some have tried Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems
than in the original sys tem. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under
"Warnings -
Alimony/Child Support." I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on
improving the situation.
I suggest installing the background application C:\YES DEAR to alleviate
software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I also suggest
that you read the entire section regarding "General Partnership Faults
(GPFs)." You must assume all responsibility for any faults and problems
that occur, regardless of their cause. You will also find that GPF's are
cyclical. The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE.
Avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you will have to
give
the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return too normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance.
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0,
Cook It 1.5 (which replaces Burn It 1.0), Trash 4.0, and Do Bills 4.2.
You
must, however, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use
will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5. Once this happens,
the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase
additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 should this
happen.
WARNING!!!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryShortSkirt
3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause
irreversible damage to the operating system
