Computer Problems in Australia
Can anybody help me with this software problem? You might have the same problems?
A couple of years ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2
which I'd used for years without any trouble. However there are apparently
conflicts between these two products and the only solution was 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-programme, Party
Girl 2.1 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
detect each other they caused severe damage to my hardware. Sensing a way out
I upgraded to Fiancee 1.0 only to discover that this product has to
be subsequently upgraded to Wife 1.0. I did this largely because,
whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with
FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000. However I 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 re-surfaced months later. 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 require you to
try and guess the problem yourself. When Wife 1.0 attaches to my Nova
programme it often crashes or runs the system dry. It also has an
annoying pop-up called MotherinLaw, which can't be turned off. Recently I've
been tempted to try Mistress XP but there could be problems. If Wife 1.0
detects the presence of Mistress XP it will delete all MS Money files
before uninstalling itself. Any ideas?

Youre a brave man to even consider mistress XP. It will destabilise your system for years. the only thing that will get rid of the motherinlaw popup is a programme called divorce1. there are some other tricky little programmes that may make things easier for you. the first is a nasty little programme called whitelie. Its a last resort but can get you out of major trouble. Caution - use sparingly - if detected it will cause alot of trouble.
I use a programme called memselect version 5000. It allows my system to only select the things that are important to me on a day to day basis and gives me an excuse to ignore other less important things.
Another winner is comliment2.1. This is a beauty! It auto detects your operating system and every so often pops up compliments on screen. Only problem is it has to be activated each day. its easy to forget for weeks and weeks on end.
last one I use is called giftboxNT. It automatically downloads little system tools from the world wide web that make your system more stable.
