Imagine in your head a picture of loading an elephant in a Mini Morris? Impossible right? Well not quite. Fujitsu Siemens delivers the Amilo Li 1718 with Windwos Vista Home, so loading the elephant should be a lot easier than working on a budget notebook with Windows Vista installed. The Amilo Li 1718 is a nice budget machine, with dual core processor and a low-end graphic card mostly intended for simple writing tasks and surfing the web. The fact that I’m writing about it is because Fujitsu Siemens doesn’t offer support for Windows XP, which means they do not provide Windows XP Drivers for it, nor on their website, nor a cd with the notebook itself.
But again, do not worry, I am here to help. I found all of the drivers for windows xp and they work perfectly well. Simply run your winXP install, download the drivers I listed below and install them one by one. Thats it, now you will have a nice budget pc machine with an Operating System that is actually worth working on and is fast like it should.
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Audio Driver XP
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Chipset Driver XP
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Display Driver XP
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Modem Driver XP
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Wireless Driver XP
The installation is pretty straight forward on most of them except on the display driver where you should choose AGP during install, and the wireless driver doesn’t have runable exe file, and you should go through Device Manager, Update Driver and just point to the folders with the driver files.
Je tiens a remercier le webmaster de ce site, j’ai installé les drivers qu’il recommande pour Amilo LI 1718 sous XP et la machine fonctionne parfaitement. comme dit Ahmad si vous installez le Sv Pack 3 de windows XP le launch Manager prévu pour Vista fonctionne aussi sous XP. Encore un grand merci
thxx for drivers.

Has anyone got Windows 7 wireless drivers for Amilo LI 1718
hi.i need a wireless adapter for fujitsu.any ideas where i can download
I need help with my li1718. I installed Win7 but the launch manager doesn’t work so I can’t use the wireless internet. Can anybody help me? Thanx!
I’ve just spent a while trying to get the wireless to work. I just downgraded to XP Performance edition SP3 (XP without all the shit that comes with it) .. installed the drivers from this page and the fsc launch manager. all the function buttons worked for me (FN + F Keys), but the 3 silver buttons located below the screen wouldnt work. This meant that I couldnt get the wireless working. To get around this, go to the launch manager’s folder (C:\program files\launch manager) … and locate the WisWBSet.exe, open that and then you can turn the wireless on without the button. However, you have to do this everytime you boot up your computer, so I suggest creating a shortcut to it and putting it in your windows startup folder (Start-> Programs -> Startup) … Hope that helps people with wireless problems. If there’s a better fix than this please let me know!
I’ve the Amilo li1718 and need the USB drivers for win XP, cause each time that I try to put a pen drive in the PC, it hangs. If I put an USB mouse or keyboard, just doesn’t recognize it.
Does anyone knows where to get the drivers or a possibly approach to find a solution?
Thnks!!
use the original launch manager installer, i your wireless will work just fine.. the only concern i get is that it “windows is shutting down” and it hang all night. can anybody help.thanx much…[email protected]
I too need the Windows 7 wireless drivers for Amilo LI 1718. Pleeeeease. I can’t seem to find one anywhere!
i too need a windows 7 wireless adapter for the amilo Li 1718, any downloads available?
I FOUND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM OF THE ATHEROS DRIVER NOT WORKING – GO TO
http://www.atheros.cz/
AND DOWNLOAD THE ONE FOR AR5007EG , EITHER WINXP 32BIT OR 64 DEPENDING ON YOUR INSTALLATION.
IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A NEW PAGE , AT THE BOTTOM PRESS DOWNLOAD AND A POPUP ASKING TO DOWNLOAD WILL APPEAR AFTER A FEW SECONDS.
THIS FILE IS NOT A .EXE SO YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON UPDATE/FIND DRIVER AND DIRECT IT TO THE LOCATION.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
Thanks,
It saved my a lot of time searching
This is great, thank you very much. However, I do have the same issues as some with the audio driver.
Merci vous m’avez vraiment tiré d’une situation catastrophique. Les Drivers fonctionnent très bien et le pc a repris de la vigueur
Hi! Very good job. Though i recommend you guys to download the newest drivers.
GPU: http://www.ati.com choose Xpress 200m

Wireless: http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/atheros/wifi/atheros_wireless_7.7.0.429-2kxp(www.station-drivers.com).exe The newest driver for atheros. Cheers//Tony

Thanks beforе!
P.S. sorry my english
Thanks for the drivers. You saved my day!
Any users having problems with wireless not working in windows 7 you need to download the launch manager V_1.4.9 from fujitsu’s website the vista version will work fine. Once installed when you use the FN F1 key combo a menu will appear asking if you want to enable the wireless controller. Hope this helps someone
Hi, sorry for muy bad english. The wlan controler have been instaled, but It doesnt start… what can I do?, I need Wlan…
Please Help me.
Por favor, no consigo que funcione el WLAN. He instalado el Launch Manager y el botón de Wireless y la luz de abajo siguen sin funcionar. Ya no se qué hacer, ¿alguien ha conseguido que funcione en su PC?, ¿Cómo?.
He instalado correctamente todos los Drivers, he leído cuidadosamente todos los comentarios, no puedo hacer funcionar el Wireless.
Por favor, ayuda.
Translate:
Please do not get it to work on WLAN. I installed the Launch Manager and Wireless button down and the light still will not work. I do not know what to do, someone has managed to work on your PC?, How?.
I installed all drivers correctly, I read carefully all the comments, I can not run the Wireless.
Well, all fixed, thanks.
Thank you!
The drivers are all corect and working!
Graham you are completely true!!! My friends told me that windows 7 contain all drivers for FujitsuSiemens, but only the wireless driver we need to install which is for vista and everything work properly 🙂
damn,im HAPPY!! im search this drivers LOT of time. 😎 thanks.
Thanks for the post. It helped me install XP SP3 on my friend’s Amilo 1718.
I got the wireless working by installing “FSC Launch Manager” for Vista, it works perfectly with XP. Search the Fujitsu site for “Launch Manager”, I installed version 1.4.4.
You can also get wi-fi to start automatically from with in the BIOS.
I have a Fujitsu Amilo Laptop D7830, and I miss a driver for the mediesoundcard, could You tell me where I can download that.
Thanks in advance.
Erik
