This doesn't work, as it is my wife, she is spending hours playing

trying to both help her and get more computer time.

Then tell her, "Baby, no more sweet lovin' 'til I upgrade this box!" ;)

Heh... it's your wife, *and* she's getting headaches but keeps playing.
Either of those changes the game, but both together really screw it up.
It's not a social situation after all.

Since you're only doing this once, you *could* disable her account
before she logs in and then enable it when you're done. She might give
you the silent treatment for a while, or she could do something a guy
would hate instead, but at least your work would be done.

I'm guessing this is an online game. Could she go to an Internet café
for a few hours and play there?
