Last
year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program
began unexpected 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 and Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system
whenever selected.
I
cannot seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about
going
back to Girlfriend 1.0 but un-install does not work on this
program.
Can you help me?

Dear Theo,
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 cannot 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 or 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 is to push Apologize button then reset button as
soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smoothly as long as you take the
blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance.
Suggestions
for improving operation of Wife 1.0: Daily use of
utilities
such as TLC.
