I have two questions I hope someone can help a non-techie person with.  First, the clock in my system tray keeps losing time....not a whole lot, maybe 10 minutes in 2 weeks.  I reset it, and then after a while I notice it is running slow again.  Any suggestions or comments?

Secondly, I am wondering about the backup battery that is someplace inside my computer tower.  Is it on the motherboard?  On the hard drive?  Is this something that goes bad after a while.  Could this be the cause of my clock running slow?  The computer hasn't been unplugged for about 6 months.  My computer isn't unplugged very often...usually only when it has to go in for service of some kind.  Is this battery in a place that I as a computer KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE INSIDE Of THE BOX person, can replace?  Again, suggestions or comments please.

Thanks,
Mary Cameron
