Every time i boot up i get a message saying date and time is wrong. I keep
having to correct this when i open up to the desktop. Could this mean i need
a new cmos battery, and is there anyway i can check the battery to see if it
is the problem.

Yes, simply replacing the CMOS battery could take care of this. It is
very easy and inexpensive to do.
