Dear Technical Support:
I m currently running the latest version of GirlFriend and I ve been
having some problems lately. I ve been running the same version of
DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as my primary application, and all the
GirlFriend releases I ve tried have always conflicted with it. I hear
that DrinkingBuddies won t crash if GirlFriend is run in background
mode and the sound is turned off. But I m embarrassed to say I can t
find the switch to turn the sound off. I just run them separately,
and it works okay. Girlfriend also seems to have a problem
co-existing with my Golf program, often trying to abort Golf with
some sort of timing incompatibility. I probably should have stayed with
GirlFriend 1.0, but I thought I might see better performance from
GirlFriend 2.0. After months of conflicts and other problems, I
consulted a friend who has had experience with GirlFriend 2.0. He
said I probably didn t have enough cache to run GirlFriend 2.0, and
eventually it would require a Token Ring to run properly. He was
right as soon as I purged my cache, it uninstalled itself. Shortly
after that, I installed GirlFriend 3.0 beta. All the bugs were
supposed to be gone, but the first time I used it, it gave me a virus
anyway. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a
while.
I very cautiously upgraded to GirlFriend 4.0. This time I used a SCSI
probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It worked
okay for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was still in
my system. I tried running GirlFriend 1.0 again with GirlFriend 4.0
still installed, but GirlFriend 4.0 has a feature I didn t know about
that automatically senses the presence of any other version of
GirlFriend and communicates with it in some way, which results in the
immediate removel of both versions. The version I have now works
pretty well, but there are still some problems. Like all versions of
GirlFriend, it is written in some obscure language I can t understand,
much less reprogram. Frankly I think there is too much attention paid
to the look and feel rather than the desired functionality. Also, to
get the best connections with your hardware, you usually have to use
gold-plated contacts. And I ve never liked how GirlFriend is totally
"object-oriented." A year ago, a friend of mine upgraded his version
of GirlFriend to GirlFriendPlus 1.0, which is a Terminate and Stay
Resident version of GirlFriend. He discovered that GirlFriendPlus 1.0
expires within a year if you don t upgrade to Fiancee 1.0. So he
did, but soon after that, he had to upgrade to Wife 1.0, which he
describes as a huge resource hog. It has taken up all his space, so he
can t load anything else. One of the primary reasons he decided to go
with Wife 1.0 was because it came bundled with FreeSexPlus. Well, it
turns out the resource allocation module of Wife 1.0 sometimes
prohibits access to FreeSexPlus, particularly the new Plug-Ins he
wanted to try. On top of that, Wife 1.0 must be running on a well
warmed-up system before he can do anything. Although he did not ask
for it, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw which has an automatic pop-up
feature he can t turn off. I told him to try installing Mistress 1.0,
but he said he heard if you try to run it without first uninstalling
Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the
uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.0 won t install anyway because of
insufficient resources. Any ideas?
