Dear Sir>>Eighteen months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2>which I'd used for years without any trouble.>>However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the>only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.>>To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several>other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 2 and Playboy 6.1.>>Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A shareware>beta-programme, Party Girl 2.1 that I tried, had many bugs and left a virus>in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.>>Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same>time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they>caused severe damage to my hardware.>>Sensing a way out, I then upgraded to Fiance 1.0 only to discover that this>product soon had to be upgraded (at great cost) to Wife 1.0, which I>reluctantly agreed to, because, whilst Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my>available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and>CleanHouse2000.>>Shortly after this upgrade however I then discovered that Wife 1.0 can be>very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes I made were>automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They>then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.>>Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail Porn Filter, and>can, without warning, launch Photostrop and Whingezip! These latter>products have no Help files and I have to try and guess what the problem is>myself.>>Additional costly problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly,>requiring Shoe Shop Browser for new attachments and also Hairstyle Express,>which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns>unwelcome child processes that drain my resources.>>It also conflicts with some of the new games I wanted to try, stating that>they are an illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT>program it often crashes or runs the system dry.>>Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which>can't be turned off. Recently I've attempted to try Mistress 2000, but>there could be problems. A friend has alerted me to the fact that if Wife>1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000 it could delete all my MS Money>files before un-installing itself.>>Any ideas?
