Default Power Window Problem - Driver's Side

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've put in a couple hours of work with my power driver's side front window which will not go back up and here's what I've figured out:

*I got the door panel off -- a first -- so that was good
*The switch works for all of the other windows and it makes a sound when I press DOWN on the driver's window, but NOT up...
*However, when I press and hold down for about five seconds, the motor makes a *click* noise, which I assume to be some sort of an auto shut-off (so you don't keep trying to close an already closed window)
*When I press up on the button, it doesn't make any discrenable noise (I listened preatty closely [ear to door]) and couldn't hear anything HOWEVER after the same amount of time as with the down button, I heard a slightly softer *click*. Therefore I assume that the switch does indeed work but that it's cutting out because either
a) the motor's bad -- all the windows work slowly, and the driver's side had been kinda half way up, wait, next half from time to time or
b) the rod things that look like cables on a bicycle (which I assume make the window go up and down) are off track or
c) the window itself is off track.
Also, I tried pulling the window up but was unsuccessful -- I only figured out how to take the inside door panel off so I couldn't exactly get on both sides of the glass.

PLEASE PLEASE help if you can -- I live in the city and my car's window is completely open...plus, it's a $300+ job to fix and taxes are due tomorrow.

Thank you!
