That's the problem with proprietary applications - uninstall them all and try open source, or groupware instead - then you can use all the plugins you want.

Yes, but then there's a higher risk of bugs, or even viruses. Any of these can cause your hard drive to become inoperable or even destruct!

Yes.

You need to ditch your current products and upgrade to Self-Abuse 5.0

But Self-Abuse (products 1.0 through 5.0)...can run concurrently with all the girlfriend/boyfriend products. Though it sometimes has conflicts with the Wife products.

Desperately seeking technical support / advice.:

I'm currently running the latest version of Girlfriend 5.0 and having some
problems.

I've been running the same version of Drinking Buddies 1.0 for years as my
primary application, and all the Girlfriend releases have always
conflicted with it.

I heard that Drinking Buddies won't crash if you minimise Girlfriend with
the sound off, but since I can't find the switch to turn it off, I just
run them separately and it works OK.

Girlfriend also seems to have a problem coexisting with Golfware, often
trying to abort my Golf program with some sort of timing incompatibility.

I probably should have stayed with Girlfriend 1.0, but I thought I might
see better performance with Girlfriend 2.0.

After months of conflicts, I consulted a friend who has 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 upgrade to run properly.

He was right.

As soon as I purged my cache, Girlfriend 2.0 uninstalled itself.

Shortly after that, I installed a Girlfriend 3.0 beta.

All the bugs were supposed to be gone, but the first time I used it, it
gave me a virus.

After a hard drive clean up and thorough virus scan I very cautiously
upgraded to Girlfriend 4.0.

This time using a SCSI probe and virus protection.

It worked OK for a while until I discovered Girlfriend 1.0 wasn't
completely uninstalled.

I tried to run Girlfriend 1.0 again with Girlfriend 4.0 still installed,
but Girlfriend 4.0 has an unadvertised feature that automatically senses
the presence of Girlfriend 1.0 and communicates with it in some way,
resulting in the immediate removal of both versions.

The version I have now works pretty well, but, like all versions, there
are still some problems.

The Girlfriend package is written in some obscure language that I can't
understand, much less reprogram.

And I've never liked how Girlfriend is totally object-oriented.

A year ago, a friend upgraded his version to GirlfriendPlus 1.0, which is
a Terminate-and-Stay resident version.

He discovered GirlfriendPlus 1.0 expires within a year if you don't
upgrade to Fiancée 1.0.

So he did.

But soon after that, you have 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 that he upgraded to Wife is because it came
bundled with FreeSex 1.0.

Well, it turns out that the resource allocation module of Wife1.0
sometimes prohibits access to FreeSex (particularly the new Plug and Play
items 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.

And, although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Mother-in-law 1.0,
which has an automatic popup feature he can't turn off.

I told him to install Mistress 1.0, but he said that he heard that if you
try to run it without first uninstalling Wife, that Wife1.0 will delete
MSMoney files before uninstalling itself.

Then Mistress 1.0 won't install anyway, due to insufficient resources.

Is anybody out there able to resolve conflicts or offer technical advice?
