    A Classic that I hadn't seen in a while

    Dear Tech Support:

    I am desperate for some help. I recently upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected child processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources. This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure.

    In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialisation where it monitors all other system activity.

    Applications such as Boys Night Out 2.5, and Golf 5.3 no longer run and crash the system whenever selected. Attempting to operate Sunday Football 6.3 always fails but Saturday Shopping 7.1 runs instead. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst attempting to run any of my favourite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 but de-install doesn't work on this program.

    Can you please help!
    Joe.


    Dear Joe,

    This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding.

    Many men upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Whereas Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its creator to run everything.

    You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0 as Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this and it is impossible to de-install, delete or purge the program files from the system once installed.

    Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0, but have
    ended up with even more problems. (See in manual under Alimony/Child Support and Solicitors Fees). Having Wife 1.0 installed myself I recommend you keep it installed and deal with the difficulties as best you can.

    When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the C:\ IAPOLOGISE program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-key. It may be necessary to run C:\ I APOLOGISE a number of times, but hopefully eventually the operating system will return to normal.

    Wife 1.0 although a very high maintenance program can be very rewarding. To get the most out of it consider buying additional software such as Flowers 2.0 and Chocolates 5.0.

    Do not under any circumstances install Secretary (Short Skirt version) as this is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and the system will almost certainly crash.

    Best of luck!

    I found this in COLOR

    Dear Tech Support:

    Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

    In addition, Wife 1.0
    installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such asPoker Night 10.3, Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Golfing 3.6.

    I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to
    Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!

    Thanks,

    Troubled User.....

    Dear Troubled User:

    This is a very common problem that men complain about.

    Many people upgrade from
    Girlfriend 7.0to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

    You cannot go back to
    Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife 10 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear"
    to alleviate software augmentation.

    The best course of action is to enter the command
    C:\APOLOGIZE!
    because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway

    Wife 1.0
    is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance
    . Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as
    Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2 .

    However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program
    Nag Nag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommendFlowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !


    WARNING!!!
    DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!

    Best of luck,

    Speaking of still funny...

    Has anyone noticed that in movies they still kill computers by shooting the hell out of the monitor? As Mencia would say; "Da-Da-Dah!"

    Dear Helpdesk,

    A friend is having trouble with his system. Last year he upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2 which he'd used for years without any trouble. However, apparently there are conflicts between these two systems and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend with the sound turned off.

    But to make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as: Lads Night Out 3.1, Golf 2 and Playboy 6.0. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better, Girlfriend 3.0 had many bugs and left a virus in his system, forcing him to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually he tried installing Girlfriend 2.1 as well as Girlfriend 1.0 only to discover that, when these two systems detected each other, they caused severe damage to all his hardware.

    Sensing a way out, he upgraded to Fiancee 1.0 only to discover to his dismay that this system requires rapid upgrading to Wife 1.0. However, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse 2000 plus GreatMealsOnTable (Guaranteed for a limited period).

    But imagine my friend's disappointment on discovering Wife 1.0 can become unstable and costly to maintain, any mistakes he makes are automatically stored in Wife 1.0 Archive file and can not be deleted - they then resurface months (or years) later. Wife 1.0 also automatically runs Ultra STROP and WHINGE.zip and no option on the Help menu seems to work, leaving him to try and GUESS the fault himself.

    The system footprint needs updating regularly, requiring Shoeshop Browser Pro for new attachments and Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every week. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-law, which can't be turned off.

    Recently he's been tempted to try Mistress 2000 add-on, but there could be problems. If wife 1.0 detects the presence of mistress 2000, it will delete all MS Money files before un-installing itself.

    Any ideas ?

    Dear Tech Support:

    Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, limiting access to flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

    In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as Premiership 2001 and Grand Prix 3

    Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

    I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

    Dear Desperate,

    Keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

    Try to enter the command: C:/ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and then run Tears 6.2.

    Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flowers 7.0. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5, Happyhour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.

    Beer 6.1 in particular is a very bad program that will create "Snoring Loudly" sound files.

    DO NOT be tempted to install MotherInLaw 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0

    In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software modules to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood-on-the-Table 3.0 and Lingerie 5.3.

    Good Luck!
