It doesn't have a clutch. I have the tiptronic model. I heard that it could be the neutral safety switch. The car thinks it's in R or Drive so it won't start up so it doesn't ruin an engine or transmission. I have no clue.

Also, my alarm literally just went off while I was at work. I unlocked it and turned the alarm off. I closed my door and guess what? My windows keep opening up and closing like I'm opening my door! GREAT! Can't WAIT for it to rain!

Well thats the limit of my experience with the Boxster but on my Subaru Forester (automatic) I do have that situation where I have to insure the shift is hard in Park for the car to start. If its just a little bit off it won't start.
Your window and alarm problem ....... I hope that doesn't happen to me.

There is a black box under the driver's seat that has several connections going to it. If any of the connections are loose or corroded it will cause the circumstances you are relating here. you will have to pull the seat to get to it. Check it for water damage as well, if you've had any leaks the water will settle in the low spot under the seats and this is where the little box lives.
