Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected
duplication (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 Monday Night 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 uninstall does not seem to work on this program.
Can you help me, please!!!
 
Thanks, Joe
 
 

Dear Joe
 
This is a very common problem male operators 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 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 Wife 1.0 system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained.
It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the Wife 1.0 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 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 has
a very high maintenance cost.  Consider buying additional 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.
