Corrupted Excel Display
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. Tom Morris |

Corrupted Excel Display
Why have several instances of Excel running?
Better to have the five workbooks in one instance.

Corrupted Excel Display
Same thing happening here with two different users. It happened to me
running a single instance of Excel and another operating the same way. Excel 2007 SP1 with 1GB RAM on one box and 1.5GB on the other. Both boxes are update with OS patches and completed a repair on both. Still occurs 1-2x/day. -- Jim McDermott "Tom Morris" wrote: 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.
