Last week I had the same problem and got help on this forum - the thread is still up on page 2. Suggestions for help included the "hold the window button up for 5 seconds" which didn't work, and "buy a new window regulator" and "microswitches" but also got this link from one of the forum members:
Window regulator permanent fix for stretched cable
For some reason this is not a live link so go to page 2 in Today's Threads to find much the same thread to find this link which suggests using a bicycle cable adjuster.

I'm not at all mechanical and don't have the necessary tools but a boxster owning friend did this hack for me on Saturday and it worked just fine.

Good luck!
