O.T. - Connection Problem:
I went to check and see if there
was enough space available. https://postimg.org/image/ljd0x23pf/ So how do I delete the partition Z and how do I get it from MB to GB? Robert |

This usually happens when I go from My Administrators Account back to my User Account and anything open on the User Account will need to be resized. However today when I logged on twice it was already offset which has never happened before. https://postimg.org/image/4n226ooe7/ then went into my Administrators Account and backed out to show you what I see when I return to the User Account: https://postimg.org/image/if7a4i68p/ This happens every time, although for the first time today FF stayed the same. Robert 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. http://i.stack.imgur.com/kcHuO.png And there are third-party programs for overriding desktop behaviors, so there are likely other ways to "nail the settings down".

It will not delete: https://postimg.org/image/b7y4ibell/ Robert 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. Paul |

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? Robert |

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. Paul |

Robert 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. Paul |

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? Robert |

Robert 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... http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi...nt-email.me%3E Paul |
