Upgrade Girlfriend to Wife - A Tech support call
Hello Sir,
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 Smoking 10.3,
Boozing 2.5 and Saturday Night Pubs 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system
whenever selected. I can not to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while
attempting to run some of my other favorite applications like Night Club 4.3,
Dance 'n' Drunk 2.0 and Bachelor Party 7.77. I am thinking about going
back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the UN-install does not work on this
program. Once I tried to uninstall Wife 1.0 but got this error "General
Protection Fault in module House Security. The Uninstallation will abort."
Can you help me, please!!!

Dear Software Engineer,
Ref : Upgrade from a girlfriend to a wife
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
Wife1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITY & ENTERTAINMENT
program. Wife 1.0 is actually 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. It is impossible to UN-install, delete, or
purge Wife 1.0 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. Look in your manual under "Warnings-Alimony/Child
Support" which was given to you at the time of registration with Wife 1.0. 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 Partnership Faults (GPFs).
The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In fact I would suggest u to use this
command every time Wife 1.0 crashes on your system. 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 or Movies 4.5 which will improve
the performance of Wife 1.0. Donot, under any circumstances, install Visual
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. Recent Survey says that Add-On softwares like Visual Dress 6.0,
Diamond Necklace 3.0, A Long Holiday in beach resort 1.0 are the best
Third Party tools that supports Wife1.0 program to run smoothly and
effectively.
