Well, yeah. D: is in the way - you can't make C: just skip right over D: and use the free space after D: - it doesn't work that way.
In the first place, your D: is a logical volume inside an extended partition. That extended partition itself is still using all the disk space there is.
I recommend you use Partition Wizard or EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition to change D: to a primary partition, then move it to the right so you get free space between C: and D: - then you can expand C:.

No need to convert D, just boot free Partition Wizard bootable CD, rightclick D to REsize, grab the D partition with mouse and drag it to the right to take up the Free Space.
This will create Unallocated or Free space to its left allowing you to rightclick C to Resize by dragging the right grey border over it - the latest versions of PW view Unallocated (primary) and Free (Logical) space interchangeably.
Good to know gregrocker, I wasn't aware of that. TY :)
