Default 97 EX windows won't go up

I drive a 97 accord EX. I've had no problems with the windows up to this point, except for the driver's side takes a long time to go up (it goes a little, stops, goes a little, etc). I've noticed this only at night when I come home from work at about 11 o clock. Maybe because it's colder, but I've put them up fine in daytime cold weather). The driver's window went up slowly like always, the sunroof closed fine like always, but the passanger's window, and the rear windows will not roll up. They won't move, my light's dont dim at all, but the locks work. I'm about to leave my car for a week parked outside, and I don't want the windows to be down in the snow, cold, and the chance of things being stolen. I've tried a search, but thus far come up dry. I'm going to try them again in a little while to see if anything has changed (only thing I can think of). Up to this point, they've never had any problems, and it doesn't make sense to me that 3 of the windows simultaneously stopped working. Thanks in advance.

Try spraying the window track with silicon spray, that usually works.

Do I have to take off the door panel, or do i just pull the top seals back and spray from there?

Also, I guess it just doesn't make much sense to me that 3 of the windows would simultaneously stop when they were down. Plus, I don't think they're really trying to roll up at all, since when i put my driver's window up and close my sunroof, etc, my lights dim a little showing that electrical power is going somewhere else too, but it never happened when I was trying to do the others.

Try checking to make sure that you dont have your windows locked. It might be the problem.
