I ran across an error when launching task manager in Windows 7 which was “c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe  The parameter is incorrect”.  You can see a screen shot of the error below .  When I first received this error I was stumped as I had never had an issue with task manager in my life.  I then started thinking back to what I had done in the past few days and remembered what I had done.  I had enabled process explorer from sysinternals to replace task manager.  This is no big deal, but if you move the process explorer executable to a different location it is a problem.  I had been doing some house cleaning and moved the exe to another location.  To fix the problem all I had to do is launch process explorer again and under options select restore task manager.  When I had completed this process task manager started up without a problem.  Hopefully this post comes in handy to somebody else running into the same problem.

I have been meaning to share restaurant.com with everybody for a long time.  If you love to eat out you need to bookmark this site.  The whole premise of the site is that you can buy $25.00 gift certificates for only $10.00.  You can find restaurants by zip code, state, or popular city.  You will probably not find the big chain restaurants on the site, but you will find your favorite local restaurant.  This has also forced me to try new places and now have some new favorites.  Check out restaurant.com and let me know what you think.  If you every get to the Des Moines, Iowa area you can take advantage of the site by eating great BBQ at Kin Folks Texas BBQ in Altoona.
