Why no more (+) plus sign to expand distribution lists?

All of a sudden Outlook 2007 is messing up. When I add a distribution list to
an email, I can no longer expand it. the plus (+) sign has totally
disappeared next to it. Furthermore, although my settings haven't changed,
the only way I can send and receive emails is to hit the send adn receive
button. So when I make an email and hit send - it goes to the outbox. And
when I boot up Outlook it no longer automatically receives. I am wondering if
I need to download something or if it has a bug.

Is this at work or just at home?
Do you use an Exchange Server?
