first off....thanks for the responses

the battery was changed 1.5yrs ago...don't ever remember changing the voltage regulator

when i say it doesn't start....i guess i mean it doesn't crank

when i turn the car on, its everything as usual but it doesn't crank...yes i do hear the fuel pump running

it even makes the noise just before its supposed to crank

i've tried to start the car in neutral when it was a once in a blue moon occurance....but it never started...and tried it this morning...same thing
