resume setup 

fter this I press F2 and change the date and time then save it. I can access windows with no problem. After I turn the laptop off again and turn it on after some time this turns up again and I have to change the time again from 12:01 8/20/2009 to the actual time. 

What do you think is the problem?

The reserve (CMOS) battery need changing.  What model system is this?

Is the main battery also dead?
