Battery problems

[karenrd]

About a month ago my computer starts up with this message - 'Warning: The
battery cannot be identified. This system will be unable to charge this
battery. Press any key to continue. Press <F2> two times to enter setup.
Press <F12> and enter any key to enter boot menu.'
This happened out of the blue, nothing happened to cause this problem e.g.
any error messages.
What can I do to stop this message appearing everytime I use my laptop?

Call the laptop mftr.'s tech support. This is a hardware issue, not a
Windows issue.

Consult the laptop's manufacturer about replacing the defective
battery, or to find out why the laptop's battery cahrger is reporting
the incorrect battery. This _isn't_ a Windows issue.
