18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2, which I had used before 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 things worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 3pm, and Playboy 6.9.
Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A Shareware 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.
I then upgraded to Fiancée 1.0, only to discover that this product soon 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 FreeS*x Plus and Cleanhouse 2003.
Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 can 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 then resurfaced many months later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-Mail Filter, and can, without warning, launch Turbostrop and MultiWhinge. These latter products have no Help Files, and I have to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 requires updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every two weeks. Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that drain my resources. These conflict with some of the new games I wanted to try out, warning me that they are an illegal operation. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my BMW Hard Drive, it often crashes.
Wife 1.0 also comes with an annoying Pop-Up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off.
Recently I have been tempted to install Mistress 2003, but there could be problems. A friend of mine had alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2003, it tends to delete all of your Money files before uninstalling itself!!
