This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due
to a primary misconception.  Many people upgrade from Girlfriend
1.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES
& ENTERTAINMENT" program.  Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM
and designed by its creator to run everything. WARNING DO NOT TRY TO:
un-install, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed.
Trying to un-install Wife 1.0 can be disasterious.
Doing so may destroy your hard and/or floppy drive.

Trying to un-install or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable system
resources. You can not go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0
is not designed to do this.  Some have tried to install Girlfriend
2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system.
Look in your manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support.

Others have tried to run Girlfriend 1.0 in the background, while
Wife 1.0 is running. Eventually Wife 1.0 detects Girlfriend 1.0
and a system conflict occurs, this can lead to a non-recoverable system
crash. Some users have tried to download simular products
such as Fling and 1NiteStand. Often their systems have become
infected with a virus. I recommend you keep  Wife 1.0 and just deal with
the situation.  Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest
you
read the entire section regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs).

You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might
occur. The best course of action will be topush apologize button then
reset button as soon as lock-up occurs.  System will run smooth as
Long as you take the blame for all GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance.
Suggestions for improved operation of Wife 1.0
     -Monthly use utilities such as TLC and FTD
     -Frequently use Communicator 5.0
     -Tech Support
