Upgrading to Wife 1.0  Tech Support

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from Girlfriend 4.0 to Wife 1.0 and
found that it's a memory hog leaving few system resources for other
applications. He is also now noticing the Wife 1.0 is also spawning
Child-processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention
of this particular phenomenon was included in the product documentation,
though other users have informed me that this is to be expected due to the
nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself so that it is always launched at
system initialization where it can monitor all other system activity. Some
applications such as PokerNite 10.3 , Bachelor Party 2.5, and Pubnite 7.0
are no longer able to run on the system at all, causing the system to lockup
when launched (even though the apps worked fine before).

Wife 1.0 provides no installation options. Thus, the installation of
undesired plug-ins such as Mother-in-law 55.8 and the Brother-in-law Beta is
unavoidable. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing
day.

Some features my friend would like to see in the upcoming Wife 2.0:

A "don't remind me again" button.

Minimize button.

Ability to delete the "headache" file

An install feature that provides an option to uninstall 2.0 version without
loss loss of other system resources.

An option to run the network driver in "promiscuous mode" allowing the the
system's Hardware Probe feature to be much more useful/effective.

I myself wish I had decided to avoid all of the headaches associated with
Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 3.0 Even here, however, I have found
many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 4.0 on top of
girlfriend 3.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 3.0 first, otherwise the two
versions of Girlfriend will have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port.
Other users have told me that this is a long-standing problem that I should
have been aware of. Guess that explains what happened to versions 1 and 2.

To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend 3.0 doesn't work
very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system.
Another identified problem is that all versions of Girlfriend have annoying
little messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0!

VIRUS ALERT

All users should be aware that Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try
to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete
MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Once that happens, Mistress
1.1 won't install and you will get an "insufficient resources" error
message. To avoid the aforementioned bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a
different system and " never" run any file transfer applications(such as
Laplink) between the two systems.

FYI: Don't even think about a shared directory!!!!!!!!!
