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 has been to 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 2.0 and Playboy 6.1. Successive versions of Girlfriend have proved no better.

A Shareware beta-program, PartyGirl 2.1, which I tried, had many bugs and left a virus in my operating 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 Fiancee 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 could 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 forgotten 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 ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and also Hairstyle Express, which needs to be reinstalled every other week.

Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that also drains my resources; It also conflicts with some of the new games I want to try, stating that they are an illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT program 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! Any ideas to assist me with these software problems?
