I don't have R2010a installed, but will try to help.

1) Please ensure you have the SimPowerSystems toolbox installed. You can check what toolboxes you have installed by using the ver command. It should show up on this list. If not, you need to install it. Note that if you are using a newer version of Matlab, this toolbox is now called Simscape Electrical.

2) The path of the library Timer block may be incorrect. In the R2010a documentation shown below, it seems that it is located in SimPowerSystems/Extras/Control Blocks.
