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 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 can not 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 work on this program.

Can you help me, please!!! Thanks, Joe

Dear Joe:
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 Wife1.0 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 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 program files from the system once installed.

You can not go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife1.0 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 very high maintenance.

Consider buying addition 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.
