My friend is having trouble with his system. Last year he upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2, which he'd used for years without trouble. However, conficts between these two systems soon became apparent, the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend with the sound off (a setting nigh impossible to achieve). But to make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as; Lads Night Out 3.1, Golf 2, PLayboy 6.0 and Peace and Quite 2.5. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better, Girlfriend 3.0 has many Bugs and left a virus in his system, forcing him to shut down completely for many weeks. Eventually he tried installing Girlfriend 2.1 as well as Girlfriend 1.0 only to discover when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to his hardware. Sensing a way out, he upgraded to Fiancee 1.0 only to discover to his dismay that this system requires rapid upgrading to Wife 1.0. However, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources is does come bundled with Free Sex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000. But imagine my friends disappointment on discovering Wife 1.0 can be unstable and costly to maintain, any mistakes he makes are automatically stored in Wife 1.0 datafiles and cannot be deleted - they resurface months later. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Interdiary Explorer and E-mail Porn Filter. Wife 1.0 also automatically runs Photostrop and Wingezip and no option on the Help menu seems to work, leaving him to try and Guess the fault himself. The system footprint needs updating regularly requiring Shoeshop browser Pro for new attachments. Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every week. It also refused some of the new Games and attachments he wanted to try, stating they were an illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to Lotus 1.0 it often crashes or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law Pro, which can't be turned off. Recently he's been tempted to try Mistress 2000 add-on, but there could be problems. If Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000, it will delete all MS Money files before uninstalling itself.
Is this a common problem?
