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, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 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 Wife1.0.
Please help!!!!!! Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about. It is due
to a primary misconception. 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 to 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 not allow
this.
Some have tried Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more
problems than in the original system. (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 "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 joint
responsibility for any faults and problems that occur, regardless
of their cause. You will also find that GPFs are cyclical. The best
course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. Avoid
excessive use of C: \YESDEAR because ultimately you will have to
give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to
normal anyway.
Remember the system will run smoothly as long as you share the
blame for all GPFs. 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), 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 Nag Nag 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
Secretary With ShortSkirt 3.3. This application is not
supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the
operating system.
Best of luck,
Tech Support
