Date/time error

Whenever I shut down my computer and restart it, I get an
0271 error indicating that the date and time are invalid.
Basically, they are reset to 00.00 each time, and I have
to go into Control Panel to reset them. My location etc.
parameters are okay, and there is no problem when I just
restart the computer; it is only when I switch off, and
then restart. This problem seems to have been around
roughly from when I had the Blaster worm problem, but that
seemed to have been cleared okay, and I've had no problems
other than this date/time business. Any ideas, please?
 
If the time/date is lost when powered off, it is most likely the BIOS
battery.
Check your manual for replacement procedure, usually very simple.

Usually the battery is CR2032 watch battery about the size of a
nickel.
