battery not recognized

I started getting a message at start up saying my battery is not being recognized and the system will not be able to charge the battery.

When I plug in my cord it shows up as charging and plugged in, and does not seem to be affected.

Any Ideas?

Dell Inspiron 1501.

Bought the computer in the spring of 2007, so the battery is about a year old.

After doing some more digging it looks like i might need to update my BIOS. I went to dell's site to get the latest, downloaded and followed their instructions.

After downloading the .exe, when opening it i get an error message:

cannot load driver c:\users\myname\desktop\phlashnt.sys

Access is denied

error code: 5
