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 Pokernight 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 uninstall 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 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 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. 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 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. Systems Support. Dear Joe, I do feel sad over your installed program caused so much problem or illegal operation when you are trying to run other fringe applications. Perhaps you can install another co-operation system called Mistress 0.5 which is a hidden trial version of operating system. Please take extreme care when you attempt to install it. Without careful memory resource management over your available physical memory, you might end up with a total unrepairable breakdown of your present system. On the other hand, research discoveries also show that with proper management of Wife 1.0 or Girlfriend 7.0, compromization of resource to distribute to Pokernight 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5, and Saturday Football 5.0 isn't a problem at all. Indeed, Disco night 6.2.1 and Beerpub 2.3 sometimes also work without any system environment interruption. If these essential programs never run in your system, you are suggested to reinstall your system. By the way, please make sure your copy of system isn't pirated. Only original program either Girlfriend 7.0 or Wife 1.0 can be upgrade to a newer version without compromizing with its production qualities. However, in whatever consequences, please remember that, loyalty to a operating system is a guarantee to your smooth operation. Loyal Corperation Technical Support, Ponpoco
