I asssume you are talking about a power window on a vehicle. To find out if the problem is electrical or not, turn the switch to up and down positions and listen for the whirr of the motor to see if the motor is working. If you can't hear the motor runniing, the problem is either the motor or an electrical connection (fuse, wire, etc.). HINT: If you can't hear it, try a window that does work just in case the motor runs so quiet that it can't be heard. If the motor works, most likely the window has jumped off the track. For either repair, the door panel will have to be removed.

Why wont the driver's side power window work and the others do?

could be the motor, could be a ground, could be the switch, could be the types of wiring. First, the question is confusing - Does the driver's power window work, or not work? The question asks a double negative - doesn't not work actually works. Depending on the type of vehicle - usually the motor, possibly the switch. Some vehicles use a controller for each window that "talks" to the others. Do the drivers (master) window switches still work the other windows?
