This is a programme's group so not the best place to seek help.
However, the error message you see is probably correct, you need to
replace your CMOS battery.

Try resetting your CMOS to defaults, then see if the error message goes
away. If that doesn't help, either find a forum on general PC
troubleshooting or take your computer to a competent local repair shop. As
you were told previously, this group is for .NET programming topics.

The closest thing in the Microsoft public groups would be an appropriate
Windows group, which you can find by following these instructions:

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the category for your version of Windows, then find a group there to
post in.

You have a hardware problem. If replacing the battery didn't solve the
issue (try a different battery -- again), you may have a problem with the
actual BIOS ROM(RAM). If so, the only practical solution is a new
motherboard. Just, IMO.
