| Help urgently needed with software problem Guys,
I've got this nasty software problem, can you help?
Eighteen months 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 programs and the only solution was to run GIRLFRIEND 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, GIRLFRIEND 1.0 is also incompatable with several other applications, such as LADS NIGHT OUT 2.3, FOOTBALL 2.0 and AMERICAN CAR SHOW1.5.
Successive version of GIRLFRIEND haved proved no better. I did come across a share-ware application called PARTYGIRL 2.1, but this proved to be full of bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down for a couple of weeks.
Eventually I tried to run GIRLFRIEND 1.0 and GIRLFRIEND 1.1 at the same time, only to discover that these two applications detected each other and caused severe damage to my hardware.
Sensing a way out, I upgraded GIRLFRIEND 1.0 to FIANCEE 1.0 only to discover that this product has soon got to be updated to WIFE 1.0. I did this largely because even though WIFE 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with FREESEX PLUS and CLEANHOUSE 2002.
However, I discovered that WIFE 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes I made would be stored in WIFE 1.0's memory and resurface months later. WIFE 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter, and can, without warning, launch PHOTOSTROP and WINGEZIP. These latter products have no help files and require you to try and fix the problem yourself.
Additional costly problems are that WIFE 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring SHOESHOP BROWSER PRO for new attachments, and the HAIRSTYLE EXPRESS program needs to be reinstalled every other week. It also conflicted with some of the new games I wanted to try, stating that they are an illegal operation.
When WIFE 1.0 attaches itself to the MYCAR program, it often crashes or runs the system dry. WIFE 1.0 also has a really annoying pop-up called MOTHERINLAW which cannot be turned off no matter what.
Recently I've been tempted to try MISTRESS 2002, but there could be problems if WIFE 1.0 detects the presence of MISTRESS 2002, it will delete all MSMONEY files before un-installing itself.
Just a thought
Paul
