Default help ASAP

So I turn the key to start my car and nothing! The radio turns on, the window work fine but the car wont start. Could there be something with the starter? But if that were the case, wouldnt the car at least make some type of noise. Or is it possible that a fuse is blown? Ive tryed checking all the fuses but they all seem fine. Any ideas on what the problem might be...

Possibaly vats related if you have a spare key try it I have heard of keys just not working anymore. Do a search on vats system to see if all the symptoms match up.

Is it a six speed?

Could be a neutral safety switch.

Does the "Security" light in the dash stay on after you turn the key back to off? If so, just wait a few minutes until it goes off.
