The "x" to close Excel is grayed out or missing?

The missing icons on the Title Bar on ALL workbooks could be due to
GroupWise being enabled.

If that's the problem. See this MSKB article

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;260199

Article is specific for 2000 but I think it is valid for other versions.

It gives a workaround (use the file menu) and instructions as to how to
remove the Groupwise add-in that is responsible for this behavior.

Perhaps thats caused by the file you have open? Alt-F4 should do the trick.
