upgrading programs ?

About 18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates
4.2, which I had used for years 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 matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several
other applications, such as BoysNight Out 3.1, Football 4.5, FlashCar 2.5
and Playboy 6.9.

Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better.
I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it 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 eventually 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 FreeSexPlus
and CleanHouse 2004.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could 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 months later when I had forgotten about them.
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail Filter, and
can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Whinge.

These latter products have no
Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly,
requiring Shoe Shop Browser for new attachments and HairstyleExpress
which needs to be reinstalled every three weeks. Wife 1.0 also spawns
unwelcome child processes that are a heavy drain on my resources.

Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT hard drive, it
often crashes.

Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called Mother-In-Law,
which can't be turned off.

Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2004, but there could
be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife
1.0 detects Mistress 2004, it tends to delete all of your Money before
Uninstalling itself.

Any ideas?
