> > This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due

> > ENTERTAINMENT" program.
> > 
> > Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run
> > everything.  It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and
> > still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0.  Hidden operating files within
> > your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate wife 1.0 so
> nothing

> > 
> > It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files
> > from the system once installed.  You can not go back to Girlfriend
> 7.0
> > because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.  Some have tried to
> > install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems

> > I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.
> Having

> > In any case avoid excessive use of the "Esc" key because ultimately

> > you take the blame for all the GPFs.  Wife 1.0 is a great program,
> but
> > very high maintenance.

> > Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of
> WIFE
> > 1.0.  I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0.   Do not, under
