2001 jetta oil light flashing and beeping

Any help would be appreciated. I pulled my 01 jetta out of the garage the other day, turned it off, and it hasn't started since. It turns over like it want's to start, but then goes back to a slow cranking. If I keep turing the key, the oil light flashes and starts beeping. The oil was low, but I've taken care of that. I was wondering if there is some kind of safety feature that would keep the car from starting with low oil?

Is it the original battery? Test the battery to see if it can handle a load on it. I have read these cars need a good battery as they have to reach a min. rpm to start. If yours is slow cranking, this may be it.
