There's a bunch of YouTube videos about this. It can be the windows slider bushing or may just need to lube the sliders or it could be the motor.

I think

Yank the door card off and have a look !

Can also be a build-up of carbon on the power window switch, so cleaning the switch can help, plus slow power windows can be a sign the battery is on the way out. So given you've got an NB8A (according to your sig) that makes it a 1998-Sep 2000 build - if it's still running its original black Panasonic battery there's a good chance it's on the way out.
