To Technical Support: > >Last week I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the >new program began unexpected duplication (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 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 un-install does not seem to work on this program. > >Can you help me, please!!! > >Thanks, Greg > > -reply from Technical Support---- > >Dear Greg: > >This is a very common problem male operators 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 Wife 1.0 >system would cause >Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0, so nothing is gained. It is impossible >to un-install, delete, or purge the Wife 1.0 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 (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 has a very high maintenance cost. > >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....... >
