car wont start

My 89 rs 2.8 wont start. Its very odd. My car started fine for a long time and all of a sudden, it just wont start. All of the electrical systems work witht the key on(although the windows go up/down slowly for some reason) but as soon as i go to start the car everything dies. Iv checked the battery with a multi tester and it reads 12 volts. I removed the battery and cleaned off the elads and cheked them to make sure there was contact.

A frined of mine has a 92 rs an he said he had the same thing happen to him and it was a bad starter. Do you thinnk this could be my problem? And what shouldi do about trying to test it?

thanks
