Chances are the motor for that window is bad. It may be an electrical issue such as a short, or disconnected wire. Your best bet is to try the motor first unless you see the actual wiring problem visually. You may have a problem within the electronics. In window motors, there is a 'mica conductor' in line with one of the commutator brushes and the wiring leading to the brush. This conductor loses its conductivity over a period of time and slows the operation of the motor, typically the window will go down but not back up, it's really a built in failure of the motor (inducing the purchase of an expensive new motor).
This is easily overcome, use a short length of 15 amp copper wire and solder it over the mica conductor thereby by-passing it, a full voltage will now reach the motor bringing it back to full strength. I have done this on GM, Nissan and Ford vehicles.
Also certain (mostly older) cars have a cover over the switches to go up and down, that depending on your car, can be easily replaced. (my brother had the same problem with his 1991 Volvo.)

What would cause the electric windows to sporatically work or not at all in a 99 Chevy Monte Carlo?
i have a 1998 Monte Carlo with the same problem , its probably just the switches for the windows that need to be replaced, also check the guides that on the bottom of the windows to see if they have a rust build up , this can cause the window to jam going up or down
What happen if the window is not going up or down?
One window, probably the switch or the electric window motor. All windows, probably the fuse or circuit breaker.
