LETTER
Dear IT Support,
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 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.
Sensing a way out, I then upgraded to Fiancée 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
Free Sex Plus and Cleanhouse 2008.
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 forgot 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.
Wife1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that drain my
resources. It also conflicted 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 programme it often
crashes or runs the system dry.
Wife1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which
can't be turned off.
Recently I've attempted to try Mistress 2008, but there could be
problems. A friend has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0
detects the presence of Mistress 2008 it tends to delete all my MS
Money files before un-installing itself.
Keith.
