I spent quite a time until finally managed to enable this card. I thought that enabling card just in bios will do the trick but cards have to be enabled from inside os as well and since Launch Manager will not work in default installation this will not work.
And hopefully running Launch Manager in compatibility mode did the trick.
So steps are:
- go to fsc support page
- find your laptop and downlod launch manager for Windows XP
- extract it and then right click go to compatibility view and select run as "windows xp (service pack 2)" - didn't work for me with service pack 3
- enable "run as administrator" as well
- install it and reboot
- Voila! Press your launch key and it should work.
This solution is probably the same for all other laptops with similar problems. So give it a try (don't trow away your old good buddies yet :)

Hi
You're a GOD !!!!
Followed your instructions, and it works !
I've been trying to get this to work for a few months.
Thanks for posting this fix.
Saffajay
I almost decided to go back to XP :)
Then when I got this working this was something I had to share with the world .
Druže, ja sam očigledno glup za laptopove... Pet puta pokušavam sa driver-ima, klikunuo sam sve sto se kliknuti moglo a dugme za wlan i dalje ne radi. Nemam pojma šta je launch manager i kako da ga nadjem. Sve u svemu Amilo 1720 klasičan problem: ne radi wlan dugme i dugme za kuler ili šta već... Pomagaj...
Matori, uspeo sam... Glup sam, nisam skapirao uopste sta je launc... Hvala.
Pozzz
Oliver
Super. Drago mi je da si uspeo.
Miloš,
i ja sam resio wlan problem uz tvoj post!
Hvala ti!
Is This way useful for any OS versin? oh ya, what's the difference ACER launch manager and non ACER launch manager...
Milose molim te pomozi, ja ne uspevam nikako, imam fs amilo li 2735 instalirana mi je 7ca i nema varijante da upalim wlan.
koji da instaliram tacno launch manager? probao sam 10ak i nista... bio bih ti zahvalan ako bi malo pojednostavio postupak ako je to ikako moguce.
Trebalo bi da ti radi Launch Manager koji može da se skine sa fujitsu sajta.
Kada ga preuzmeš postavi u compatibility view "Run as Administrator" i stavi compatibility na Windows Vista (pošto je driver već za Vistu trebalo bi da radi). Kada se instalira restartuj i probaj dugme za aktivaciju wirelessa.
Thanks Milos.
i have downloaded file. how do i extract and run as admin??
You sir, are a HERO! I´ve been fighting with my Amilo Pro all day. And then finially, in my Very Last effort, I find your blog! Thanks a million! Cheers/Henric from Sweden!
Heh.. glad that this helped. I've been fighting with this for a long period and then tried to go wild and tried compatibility mode.. and hey it worked! So I simple had to share.
Another solution i use today
Download on http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/com/support/downloads.html the BIOS Windows Flash (32bit)for your model.
The last version of the bios solve this problem et enable in the bios the opportunity to manage wifi
tanx a million!!

Has Launch Manager been renamed? Or bundled in to something else/ Can't find it on the Fujitsu site :-(
Just checked and it is still available.. maybe not for your model.. try with similar series... eg> http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowDescription.asp?SoftwareGUID=C06CA15B-CF4D-437E-91EC-3CD7F2188130&OSID=665F4A20-6E31-43C3-82C2-D98CE773007C&Status=False&Component=Application%20-%20Tools%20and%20Utility
