Fujitsu Siemens Launch Manager and Windows 7 – enable Wireless

Solution from http://miloszikic.blogspot.com/2010/07/fujitsu-siemens-amilo-launch-manager.html

For all of you that have Amilo laptops which don’t have Launch Manager available for new Win 7 here is simple solution to run your wireless again!
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:

  1. go to fsc support page
  2. find your laptop and downlod launch manager for Windows XP
  3. 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
  4. enable “run as administrator” as well
  5. install it and reboot
  6. Voila! Press your launch key and it should work.

How to use Ubuntu LiveCD to get Windows Product Key from hosed system

@lkraemer, I posted it here because lots of people use the Ubuntu LiveCD to troubleshoot Windows problems. I thought I could get help here… and I was right. However, your response was very Microsoftian: lots of talk, but nothing useful.

@juanoleso, et al…

Because of your help, I was able to learnthe location of the Windows Registry files:
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\)

I also had found Magic Jellybean KeyFinder (MJBKF) in my searching previously, but was unaware that it would work on a hive that was not the current one, like some other programs of similar purpose. With information from you folks, I made some attempts. Here’s what worked…

1. I copied the config folder (mentioned above) to my USB drive using Ubuntu to get access to the hard drive.
2. On another Windows machine, I installed MJBKF and plugged in the USB drive.
3. MJBKF didn’t work if I pointed it to the config folder. So I thought to duplicate the directory structure it might normally see in Windows.
4. I created a windows folder, and then created a system32 folder in it.
5. I then moved the config folder into the system32 folder.
6. MJBKF worked fine when I pointed it to the newly-created windows folder. I was able to get my Windows XP Key!

OPTION GT Max 7.2 z Orange na Windows7 64-bit

Modemy dla orange mają inną identyfikację niż Option,  dlatego Windows 7 nie wykrywa sterowników dla Option.

Należy wymusić instalację Modemu Option GlobeTrotter HSxPA z tych driverów.

Jak odpytanie modemu się powiedzie, instalujemy aplikację do łączenia się z Internetem.
