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 can not 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 mdimond-

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 can not 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 and
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 will be to push apologize button then reset button
as soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take
the blame for all GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance. Suggestions
for improved operation of Wife 1.0 -Monthly use utilities such
as TLC and FTD -Frequently use Communicator 5.0
