If you have answered yes to the two above questions, then the problem lies in one of two fuses, a dead spot on the armature of the electric motor, a bad convertible top double relay or corrosion on the spades of the relay.
Can you supply some more details. Year of your Boxster, is this first time that this has happened...do you hear any noises or see the lights dim when you press the button?...

Thanks for the suggestions. Mine is 2003 s. It's not the first time it has happened. It happened again in a similar fashion about a month ago. I drove topdown to work and when I arrived, top refused to go up. It finally worked after several trials. But this time it refuses to work. Btw, I have the one touch top thingy which allows the top to work while driving at slow speed. Also, I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to check I my fuses are good or bad. And the break light does light up on the dash.
