18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Buddies 4.2,
> which I had 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 incompatible with several other
> applications, such as Guy's Night Out 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy
> 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A shareware
> program, Party Girl 2.1, which 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. I then upgraded to Fiancee
> 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further
> to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources,
> it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2003. Shortly
> after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very
> unstable and costly to run. 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 Filter, and can, without
> warning, Launch TurboStrop and Whinge. These latter products have no
> Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is. Additional
> problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop
> Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be
> reinstalled every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child
> processes that drain my resources. These conflict with some of the new
> games I wanted to try out, warning me that they are an illegal
> operation. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT hard drive,
> it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with a rather anno ying pop-up
> called Mother- In-Law, which can't be turned off. Recently I've been
> tempted to install Mistress 2004, but there could be problems. A friend
> of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress
> 2004, it tends to delete all of your Money files before uninstalling
> itself. Any ideas?
