Default dead battery ?

I just had my battery jumped because I hadn't driven my car in a month. Wondering why my window doesn't automatically go up/seal tightly when I shut the door as it used to. Any suggestions as to what or if I should do anything about this? Are there any other surprises in store for me because of the dead battery?
Thanks

Go buy a new battery and your problem should be solved.

After putting in the new battery, you may have to re-index the windows....

You need to reindex the windows whenever the battery dies.

Definitely a re-indexing situation.

Hope it went well.
