Tech Support Request

   Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the  new program began creating unexpected child processes 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 Mr. Powell,

   This is a very common problem users 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 with  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 1.nitestand. 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
