Dear Tech Support: 



Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, limiting access to flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.  In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

Dear Desperate, 



Keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2. Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flowers 7.0. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5, Happyhour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. 



Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create "Snoring Loudly" wave files.



DO NOT install MotherInLaw 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. 

These are not supported applications and will crash Husband  1.0. 



In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory

and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software

to improve performance.  I personally recommend HotFood 3.0 and Lingerie 5.3.

HUSBAND 1.0 

Dear Folks: 



I came in from Thanksgiving break this morning to find that my buddy, Jeff,

Helpdesker extraordinaire, had sent out an urgent message to the company --and

I thought I'd pass it along to you, before the situation gets worse.



Last week, we found ut that there were problems with upgrading to Husband 1.0

--and now, we're finding troubles with  upgrading to Wife 1.0! Who would've

thought? 



Well, thanks to iVillager kellyanne, here's what to do if you're

experiencing the same difficulty. 



Cheers,

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. No mention of this was included with the product

information. 



In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now 

launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system 

activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5, 

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 Girlfriend 7.0, but

the Uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help! Thanks, 



Signed,

Dear Troubled User, 



This is a very common problem. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to 

Wife 1.0 thinking that it is  merely an 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 return to 

Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating system files cause Girlfriend 7.0 to

emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. 



It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the

system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend  7.0 because Wife 1.0

is designed to not allow  this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or

Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than in the original system. Look in

your Wife 1.0 manual under "Warnings: Maintenance/Child Support". 



I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0. I suggest installing the background 

application program Yes_Dear to alleviate software augmentation. Having 

installed Wife 1.0 myself, I also suggest that you read the entire section

regarding "General Partnership Faults (GPFs)". 



You must assume all responsibility for any faults and problems that occur,

regardless of their cause. You will also find that GPFs tend to be somewhat

cyclical, occurring approximately 28 days apart. The best course of action is

to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. Avoid excessive use of C:\YES_DEAR because

ultimately you will have to use the APOLOGIZE command before the system will

return to normal anyway. 



Remember, the system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all

GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but tends to require very high 

maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs such as 

Clean_and_Sweep 3.0, Cook_It 1.5  (which replaces Burn_It 1.0) and Do_Bills

4.2. You must, however, be very careful how you use these programs. 



Improper use will cause the system to launch the programNag_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

should this happen. 



Best of luck.
