Electrical Problem???? Starter won't tujrn, power windows are dead, etc.

Hello

I started up my car and noticed that I did not have power windows.

I drove the car about 5 miles and seemed to hear some "unusual noises" - but
power and peformance were good.

I got home and turned the car off. Now the starter won't turn and I did
smell something that smelled like burning wires.

Taking a quick look at the fuses, it doesn't seem like any of them are
burned - but I need to look better.

Any ideas???? Could there be a relay that is prone to failure. My car has
230,000 miles.

All responses are appreciated.
