O/T Technical help needed!
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2003 3:13 pm
Eighteen months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 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 also incompatible with several other applications such as
LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 2.0 and Playboy 6.1.
Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A Shareware
beta-programme, PartyGirl 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 1.0 and Girlfriend 2.1 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 Fiance 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 of my
available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus, Cleanhouse 2000
and WashUp XP.
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 Pornfilter 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 ShoeShopBrowser for new attachments and also HairstyleExpress
which needs to be reinstalled every other week.
Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that also 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.
Furthermore, Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called
Mother-In-Law, which can't be turned off. Recently I have attempted to
install Mistress 2000, but there could be problems, as a friend has alerted
me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000 it
tends to delete all MSMoney files before permanently un-installing itself!
