Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed
that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of new
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 Poker Night 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 the uninstall does not work on this program.
Can you please help me?

Dear Troubled User,
This is a very common problem men 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 it's 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 system would 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 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 deal with
the situation.
I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to
alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 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 C:\YES DEAR because
ultimately you may 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 very high-maintenance. Consider
buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend
Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. 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
