I have a laptop, circa 1999 that will not hold the CMOS(BIOS) settings.
It was made by System Soft Corporation, but they cannot be found on the net,
even with a Google
search.
I have lost all my info that came with the computer.
Can anyone help me find info on this laptop, that has been working until lately
so that I may
get it working again?

Open the laptop. Find the CMOS battery. Replace it. It's probably a
CR2032 lithium cell.

more common (although by no means universal) to use a [custom,

recharge only when the laptop is actually ON (not simply plugged in),
and a full recharge can take 48 hours.

Rechargeable CMOS batteries disappeared years ago. They are almost
universally a lithium primary coin battery these days, and nearly always a
CR2032 (in spite of the fact that a BR2032 would be a better choice - but
almost unobtainable).

Every laptop I have been inside since 1999 or 2000 has used a
nonrechargeable Li cell, usually a CR2032. Sometimes the CR2032 has
electrodes welded to it, wires soldered to the electrodes, and a
heatshrink jacket, but underneath all that it's still a CR2032.
