At the risk of stating the obvious... what condition is the battery in? Tried a peak charge for it?
A good condition battery with the appropriate CCA shouldnt have any dramas starting the car, regardless of the condition the alternator/reg is in...

Battery.
Did you test the battery with a load or just a meter? A meter alone can read full voltage, it's not till you put a load (like a starter motor) on the battery that the volts drop.
