However, there are actually conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to attempt running girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as Ladsnight out 3.1, Football 4.5 and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had too many bugs and left a virus in my system forcing me to shutdown completely for several weeks... Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at same time only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware. I eventually upgraded to Fianc?e 1.2 only to discover this product had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with a Freesex platform plus Cleanhouse2007. Shortly after this upgrade I discovered that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run, any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They would then resurface months later for no apparent reason when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has automatic diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can without warning launch into Turbo-strop & Whinge or Uncomfortable Silence modes. These latter programmes have no help files so you have to spend hours attempting to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that wife 1.0 needs updating regularly - requiring Shoeshop Browser for new attachments, and Hairstyle Express, which needs to be re-installed every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that drain all resources. These conflict with some of the new games I wanted to try out, warning me that they are illegal operations. Also when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with a very irritating pop-up called Mother-in-Law 666, which attempts to over-ride all current activity and cannot be turned off. Recently, I have been tempted to install Mistress 2007 but there could be problems, a friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2007 it tends to delete all of your finances before uninstalling itself.... Please help.......
