Sounds like you need to replace the CMOS battery in it.
Go to youtube and search for "how to change cmos battery in [insert your laptop model here]"

Model number should be under the laptop, unless it is decased. If it is, look for a round watch type looking battery.
It is probably about an inch in diameter and will be shiny like chrome.
Should be able to pop it out, take it to radio shack and get a new one just like it.
Can you post a pic of your laptop?

It will probably look like this:

I couldn't see the pictures you posted earlier, I was at work.
Glad I could help.
When you connect the new battery you will need to go into bios on bootup and set time and date, also make sure correct hard drive and cd rom (if you are using one) is displayed.
