Yes, folks, I know this is extremely off-topic, but this made me bust a gut laughing and I can't help but share it. I didn't write this, but boy I wish I had! LOL -------------------------------------- >Dear Tech Support "LAPTOP SERVICES (Pty Ltd)", > >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 >Saturday Rugby 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:\ I APOLOGISE 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 Tech Support
