For those of you that refuse to "read the directions":
Ok, so last Friday night I took the plunge and popped the question to my girlfriend, now fiancée.
Today, I find these upgrade issues. Anyone else run into this? What did I do?
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to 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 as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0,
Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the
system whenever selected. 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 Girlfriend7.0, but the uninstall
doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please advise.
Thanks,

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to 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 not to allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under
"Warnings-Alimony-Child Support". I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0
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.
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 recommend Flowers 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,
Tech Support
