Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 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 and
Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the
system whenever selected. I cannot seem
to purge Wife 1.0 from my system.
I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend
1.0 but un-install does not work on this
program. Can you help me?

Dear I N Distress,
This is a very common problem men complain
about but is mostly due to a primary miscon-
ception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 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 de-
signed by its creator to run everything.
WARNING DO NOT TRY TO un-install, delete,
or purge the program from the system once
installed. Trying to un-install Wife 1.0 can
be disastrous.
You can not go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because
Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some
have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0
but end up with more problems than the ori-
ginal system.
Look in your manual under Warnings-
Alimony/Child Support. Others have tried
to run Girlfriend 2.0 in the background,
while Wife 1.0 is running. Eventually Wife
1.0 detects the presence of Girlfriend 2.0
and a system conflict occurs, this can
lead to a non-recoverable system crash.
Some users have tried to download similar
products such as Fling and 1NiteStand.
Often their systems have become infected
with a virus.
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
Protection Faults (GPFs).
You must assume all responsibility for faults
and problems that might occur. The best
course of action will be to push the apologize
button then reset button as soon as lock-up
occurs.
The system will run smooth as long as you
take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a
great program but is very high maintenance.
Suggestions for improved operation of Wife 1.0
-Monthly use utilities such as TLC and FTD
-Frequently use Communicator 5.0
With best wishes,
Tech Support.
