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.

Hey, sorry to hear that Ingwarek, can you confirm whether it is due to your connection, or the server?
Because I’ve been having some problems with the server lately, so I may upload them to another host if everyone experiences this.

Hi Mads
Thanks for updating us on that, some users have also complained about not downloading correctly from that link. I will move the driver files on other server tommorow so you can download them without problem.

I spent a month searching for the full set of drivers.

are those all dirvers i need to make xp work on my notebook and are the all working
Hi – Brilliant! Thank you so much. All five loaded up just as I’d hoped. I needed to download software to read the .rar files, and found this at http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm.
But I still have two minor issues:
1) The wireless driver is installed and says it’s working fine, but it doesn’t actually detect my home network. I noticed there’s a wireless hardware button above the keyboard that doesn’t seem to do anything – and a light below the keyboard next to the on light that isn’t lit … I’m wondering if there’s a small Fujitsu software piece missing to enable the hardware switch to make a missing connection?
2) There’s a hardware switch for the fan speed/cpu speed that is also not doing anything … may be similar to the first point.
Can you give me any pointers on this?
Nearly there now! Just a couple of glitches to sort. Thanks again.
Kind regards, John
Hello John,
I think you might be right, and there is a software for enabling the buttons on the Amilo 1718. It is called Launch Manager. I will include it in my post soon. Here is the link:

It it is for Windows Vista, but it should work with Windows XP too. Please try it and confirm if it works.

Hi, It would be great to have the drivers, and especially the SATA drivers, for the AMILO Li 3910.
I suppose the drivers for the 1720 are not suitable for the 3910.
thanks,
Peter

Hey, some problems,
On my Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, I try to install the Audio Driver, but it doesn’t install, (just doesn’t load).
Thanks, Daniel.
Hi Guys.
Everytime I switch on my Amilo Notebook now I am losing internet connection within 10 minutes(even if I am sitting beside my wireless router). Moreover, my machine is refusing to shut down until the battery is dead.
Can anyone help me with this? I can’t even download any solutions because my connection lasts for such a short amount of time.
Thanks
Chris
