Default O.T. - Connection Problem:

I went to check and see if there
was enough space available.

So how do I delete the partition Z and
how do I get it from MB to GB?

then went into my Administrators Account

This happens every time, although for

I think what I'm seeing in those two windows
is normal.

Say I have the two accounts

Account1 winword 1024x768+100+100

Account2 winword 800x600+200+150

Each time I switch accounts, the preference for
winword stays with each account.

So the important thing, is since the last time
I used Account1, it should still be the same.
The Account1 setting should be consistent with
itself. If the application remembers the dimensions
of its window, it should stay the same. So
the next time I use Account1, it should still be

Account1 winword 1024x768+100+100

*******

Some kinds of "shell" class programs, have
their own controls. But this is not a common
feature of everything that runs in Windows.

And there are third-party programs for overriding
desktop behaviors, so there are likely other
ways to "nail the settings down".

You're getting there :-)

You got rid of the Logical on the end, and now
that space is unallocated.

Now, you need to click C: and select "Shrink".

https://s22.postimg.org/hrcfuefup/shrink.gif

In that example, I don't have your partition
setup exactly. I just wanted to show the
Shrink dialog while working on C: in the
example.

C: has a lot of extra space available. It has
at least 450000 MB of space. You can "give"
a lot of that to the unallocated area on the
end of the disk. If you were to put 430000
into the dialog box pointed to in the
picture, then the unallocated would become
430000, and C: would end up with 20000 of
white space for file storage on it. 20000 MB
ot 20 GB, is a bare minimum to keep Windows
happy. If instead of typing 430000, you used
400000, then the C: would end up with about
50GB of white space for storage.

Any files that are in the way, have to be
moved to the left. Normally, there aren't
that many files on the right, but I've seen
some pretty weird usage patterns, and anything
is possible.

Once you have a decent sized Unallocated on
your screen, that will be the new home of
your clean WIN7NEW. And you can use the
DiskPart application in an Administrator
Command Prompt, to make an actual Primary (not
a Logical), down on the end.

This doesn't seem normal to me and today
again I had to reset the Dell Imaging, Word
and Paint when I logged on which I never had
to do before.

I was reading a news story on Yahoo and then
this came up:

https://postimg.org/image/t0ais8krb/

I have never had these kinds of problems before
is it because the internet is getting messed up?
or that Yahoo, Google, eBay just is so messed up
and they don't care?

The area on the end is unallocated.
You've got that covered.

OK, now we've got a good chunk of space
on the end for an OS partition.

Now you need the "DiskPart" recipe.
The one that creates a Primary partition
down on the end. DiskPart will make a RAW
partition, and you can then close up
the DiskPart session, and switch back
to Disk Management.

And in Disk Management, you right click the
RAW partition and format it as NTFS. Assign
it a label, like WIN7NEW or use a title you
will find meaningful. And that will be where
the new OS install will go.

My guess is, something happened to the Flash
plugin. The Flash plugin is hosted in a
container. If Flash dies, only the container
dies, and other parts of Firefox keep running.

All it takes is some bad advertising flash
movies on the major sites, for that to happen.

I don't have any "guaranteed fix" for that.

And every time you visit the Yahoo site,
you never know what kind of advertising
it'll be hosting. I would kinda trust the
content that Yahoo makes, but I don't trust
the inserted advertising at all.

And your symptoms are unlikely to have
anything to do with your broadband
Internet connection. If a host is
unreachable, you'll receive an intelligent
error message, not a crash.

I have no idea what you mean by
'Diskpart' receipe.

I right clicked the unallocated space
and it gave me 'new simple' and is
asking for the volume size again.

https://postimg.org/image/uqhyw4zhv/

Should I put 400000 and proceed?

All I know is that my online experience
is getting worst with resizing of pages,
lagging, and the webpage freezing up on
sites like Yahoo, eBay, etc.

I never had these issues before

Remember, we can't do it that way!

That's because, if you do that step in Disk Management,
it makes the partition a "Extended with One Logical
inside it". If that happens, you'll notice if you
continued doing what you're trying to do there,
the outline of the partition is a different color.
That's how you know it fouled up.

If you have the logical now, you can delete it and
turn the space back to unallocated.

This is the picture I posted for you
previously, for making a Primary with
the diskpart command line application.
In my example, my computer only
had one internal disk drive, which
is Disk 0.

https://s14.postimg.org/nlszsxh41/diskpart2.png

You can see my partitions are all the same
color.

And because the one on the end is RAW, you
right click that one in Disk Management
afterwards, and format it NTFS, apply
a label you will recognize later and so on.

This is the article with the several photos
of diskpart in it...
