LOL Let's let Yahoo rule this time--it is the source for Excel. I've switched it back ; ) Here's a bit of humor re: 'System Errors'* <G>* Letter to Tech Support: Dear Sirs; Last year, I upgraded Girlfriend 1 to Wife 1. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing, which took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Pokernight and Beerbash no longer run; the system crashes whenever those programs are opened. I cannot seem to purge Wife 1 from my system. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1, but un-install does not work on this program. Can you help me? Sincerely, Confused Husband Dear Sir- This is a very common problem that many men complain about, but the confusion is mostly due to a foundation misconception. Many men upgrade from Girlfriend 1 to Wife 1 with the idea that Wife 1 is merely a utilities & entertainment program. Actually, Wife 1 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 1 because Wife 1 is not designed to do this. Some men have tried to install Girlfriend 2 or Wife 2, but end up with more problems than original system. Look in your manual under "Warning: Alimony/Child Support." I recommend you keep Wife 1 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1 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 is to push the apologize button, then the reset button, as soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1 is a great program but is very high maintenance. Sincerely, Tech Support
