Jonathan;
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to
a primary misconception. 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 designed 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. Doing so may destroy your hard and/or floppy
drive. Trying to un-install or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable
system resources. 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 original
system. Look in your manual under Warnings- Alimony/Child Support.
Others have tried to run Girlfriend 1.0 in the background, while Wife
1.0 is running. Eventually Wife 1.0 detects Girlfriend 1.0 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 apologize button then reset
button as soon as lock-up occurs. 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
