Why have several instances of Excel running?

Better to have the five workbooks in one instance.

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.
