My car won't start and I replace the old battery with a new one. What could the problem be?

What does it do when the key is in the start possition? Crank? Click? or nothing?

Nothing, it's possible that there is a slight click, but really, absolutely nothing. The car has been sitting for quite some time, but the last time I drove, it the only problem I was having was the battery was going bad. Now I've bought a brand new battery which it appears to be working as all of the electrical functions of the car work i.e. lights, air, etc. I'm thinking maybe the starter is bad, but I don't know. I do know that it does have gas in it.

Clicking? or nothing at all? If you hear a click, then either the battery is weak, or the starter, possibly bad battery cable connections, check and clean both ends of BOTH cables! Dissconnect negative(-) first, and put it on last! If no click the starter relay is no good! Don't forget to check the fusible links at the battery post.
