Excel 2003: Corrupted display

[Tom Morris]

Windows XP Professional, Excel 2003, 2GB RAM

When our heavy Excel user has five or more instances of Excel open, usually,
the display begins to fail. It's as if each sheet were composed of tiles and
the tiles were randomly moved around. Also, the programs no longer respond to
mouse clicks or keystrokes.

I disabled all graphic features to no avail; no entries in the Event logs.

Thanks for any help.

Do you mean your excel file is corrupted? Or perhaps it is because the
server is too busy to react. You can try to rewrite your code to
improve efficiency. Otherwise, if the excel file is corrupted, I think
you can try a utility called Advanced Excel Repair to repair your
Excel xls file. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/aer/ Hope
this helps.
