Installing Windows 7 on Fujitsu U810, U1010, U2010, U2020
UPDATE: This also applies to Windows 7 Final/RTM (7600) and will also work for the U820/U2010/U2020 models. Check my comment for additional information on what needs to be installed on those models.
I just installed Windows 7 Business Build 7000 on my U810. It is quite nice actually and seems to run faster than Vista.
I installed the Vista drivers from the driver CD. The Setup.exe on the driver CD will complain that the operating system is unsupported. To circumvent this problem, just start the setup in Vista compatibility mode:
Right-click on “Setup.exe”, “Properties” -> “Compatibility” -> “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” “Windows Vista”.
Install these items:
Drivers
04. Button Driver
05. Camera Driver
07. Fingerprint sensor (driver)
08. FUJ02B1 Device Driver (HotKey Driver)
09. FUJ02E3 Device Driver (System Extension Driver)
11. Pen Driver
12. Pointer device driver
Utilities/Applications
03. Button Utilities
07. Fujitsu System Extension Utilities
I could not get the Auto-Rotation feature to work. Also, you’ll probably have to calibrate the touch screen.
I also disabled the power management feature of the FCL USB Pen Tablet in Device Manager (Right-click on “Human Interface Devices/FCL USB Pen Tablet”, “Properties” -> “Power Management” -> Disable “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”). This improves the response of the touch-screen/tablet.
Oh, and BTW, Windows 7 “only” uses 7.5 GB of disk space, whereas Vista uses 15 GB I think.

Yeah, I just found the same result myself last night.
Hopefully Fujitsu will update the rotation software for us.

Make sure you run the updates. Then check the “Action Center” icon. On my Win7 install on u810 it auto-notified me that there was a Win7-specific driver for the Fingerprint sensor (Authentec). With this driver I was able to integrate sensor directly into Windows using the “Biometric” applet in the control panel. Quick Windows login via the sensor without using Omnipass bloatware… \o/

Thanks for this page – very helpful!
Did you get the sound to via the earphone/headphone jack? Even when speakers or earphones are plugged in, it still sends all sound out the built-in speakers.
Also, for some reason it does not seem to recognize my fingerprint scanner, and I tried what Andy suggested.
January 28th, 2009 at 15:04
Has anyone had any success in getting the driver installed for the WWAN version of the U810? If so, could you describe how you did it.
February 7th, 2009 at 20:59
Thanks for the info. It was very helpful.
April 15th, 2009 at 19:51
Help! I cant seem to get the fingerprint working. Would anyone have the disks I could download? It runs well on Windows 7, I just never got the disks when I bought the 1010.
April 16th, 2009 at 12:01
I did not try the fingerprint driver, but the sound has apparantly been fixed in the latest BETA (7077).

Hi, I installed the Windows 7 RC1 just before, and I have a very annoying phenomena with the stick of the pointing device : it is inversed …
I mean that before, I pushed it went up, I pulled it went dowwn. Now it is inversed and I do not found the parameter to reverse it. What is interesting is that when W7 boots, after log in , there is a blue screen, and at this step is works well, then the desktop is displayed and… it is inverse.
July 6th, 2009 at 11:25
Great post. Im using windows 7 RC build 7100 and the rotation and everything else works perfect! Im so happy, thanks very much for the post. People who is thinking to upgrade from windows vista, dont do it, its terrible. Install windows 7 fresh!
August 2nd, 2009 at 21:55
The same instructions will work for the final RTM release of Windows 7 (7600) and will also apply to the Fujitsu U820 and U2010/U2020.
Make sure to also install the GPS driver. The pen driver is not necessary since Windows detects the touch screen. The only thing to do here is to calibrate it via Control Panel > Tablet PC Settings.
Drivers for the U820/U2010/U2020 are available here:

Hi, I am having problems with the fingerprint sensor, I installed the RTM (7600) version, and the system recognized the sensor and install the driver automatically “Authen Tec AES2501A”, then I go to the control panel, and the finger print sensor is listed, but when I open the figerprint configuration utility of windows 7 the software dont detect when I pass my finger on the sensor, could you help me please
Thanks in advance,
Joaquin

Hello all,
I installed RTM 7600 win7, and it looks good. But I have these problems.
I am not able to calibrate the screen as many pen presses for the points on the R side of the screen are not recognised. Also i have this problem of the cursor moving in the opposite direction to the pointer. If anybody has some ideas please help me ,
thanks in advance,

Jebaraj, this happened to me on the U810. I had to install the Fujitsu Touch Panel drivers. As for the direction problem, you’ll need to install the Pointing Mouse Vista driver from the Fujitsu support page. The default Win7 mouse driver does not detect other screen orientations.
Joaquin, is this on a U810 or U820? I had problems on my U810 back when I was testing the Beta version of Win7. Have not tried with the RC or RTM version because I do no longer own the device.

Hi Andre,
Thanks for a prompt reply. My experience was a bit different. I managed to solve the problems.
I installed the latest touch panel drivers for vista and it did not help, but when i install the latest BIOS updtae then the calibration went smoothly and it works well now.
For the direction of the pointing device, I had realized that before I installed the pointing device driver, the pointer was fine and so I uninstall the driver from the programs and it works well
thanks a lot

I still cant get the button utility installed-have checked vista and run as administrator but apparently am doing something wrong.

PS: Calibration works well with the fujitsu calibration
November 8th, 2009 at 20:57
For all who can’t calibrate well.
- the fujitsu drivers for the touch panel are in a zip (TP_USB_Vista32_V10L04.zip)
- the “CalTUwin.exe” is inside the zip too
- for first calibration use “CalTUwin.exe”, then you use the calibration form “Control Panel|Hardware and Sound|Tablet PC Settings|Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input” –> now the calibration is exactly!!!

Elias, thanks for the update! :)

After installing Win7, my mouse is inverted
I use a Lifebook U Series – Model U810
Pushing up on the mouse controller moves it down; pusing left moves the pointer right, etc.
any idea how to fix this?
November 15th, 2009 at 18:33
OK – fixed the mouse problem. uninstalling and deleting the driver triggered a re-install after reboot and that fixed the issue
November 17th, 2009 at 2:31
I would like to install Wiondow 7 to U1010. Should I use the Vista driver, XP driver or XP tablet driver?
November 20th, 2009 at 19:48
Hello John,
use the Vista drivers :-)
EB
December 1st, 2009 at 4:48
ELiasB, Thanks much for the info. Followed your instructions and my U810 is running Windows7 great now, buttons working and pointer clicking! THANKS.
December 16th, 2009 at 14:10
Is everybody here get the keybord LED working?
December 17th, 2009 at 15:47
Hello Ronny,
follow my installation steps, and everything will run. :-)

I have been trying to get Win7 to work since Christmas with zero luck. I’ve been following the directions precisely. My first problem may be that the FUJ02E3 is only available at V1.20 and not V1.209. Can someone link in the location of V1.209? Thanks
January 2nd, 2010 at 16:32
Hello GasPath,
you can use the FUJ02E3 V1.20 –> the 9 is a typing error from me.
I’ve used the V1.20.
EB
January 2nd, 2010 at 17:01
Anyone trying to do this…worked for me only after following EB instructions exactly (even the odd install, then uninstall, instruct.) Got some of the downloads off Fuji’s download site for the U820, W7 downloads.
EB: still wondering how you figured this out? Fuji support said W7 wouldn’t work.
January 4th, 2010 at 16:10
@ SLL
Try and Error :-)
And make notes after alls steps, that work or fail :-)

January 6th, 2010 at 17:25
Hi Elias, I install the Win7 Ultimate and then installed the drivers by following your instruction. Everything looks fine except screen rotation. I got a pop-up window with the error message “Error in CUISDK initialization” Please help. Thanks in advance.
January 9th, 2010 at 14:03
Hello Howard,
I don’t exacly know, what this error message means, but I think it could be an error form the touch panel driver.
Please try to uninstall the “Touch Panel Driver (vom LiveBook U810 /U1010) [V.10L04]” and reinstall it after reboot.
Someone here, who can help or knows more about this message?
EB
January 12th, 2010 at 4:35
Thanks for your reply Elias. The error message was from the Fujitsu Rotation Utility. Do you know how to reinstall it? By the way, there are Win7 driver for U2010, can I use those drivers instead of the Vista drivers?
January 24th, 2010 at 13:40
@Howard, try it – maybe it will work
January 24th, 2010 at 13:46
FINGERPRINT SENSOR working now!!!!

Are there any places in the above directions where the machine should be shut down and rebooted? The only button I have that works is the keyboard. This is so frustrating. I don’t know how many times I and others have done this with no luck.
January 24th, 2010 at 20:39
@ mcolvin
Ohhh, yes sorry – this is a big fault from me to tell you – because I usually always reboot after I install or uninstall something.
After each install & uninstall you should boot!!!
January 25th, 2010 at 2:11
Thanks. I still don’t have the autorotate working but the three buttons work. The rotate will work when I go back to landscape but not when I first rotate to portrait. I have to rotate to portrate manually with the button, but then the autorotate will go back to landscape-go figure. This is as close as I have gotten it so I am afraid to do anything else!
January 25th, 2010 at 23:57
Here is the site you can download the drivers from:
http://www.pc-ap.fujitsu.com/support/drv_lifebook.html
you can download the mouse driver for 2020 and win7 and it installs ifyou get errors with the 1010 one.
January 26th, 2010 at 0:32
Update regarding the error on the Screen rotation:
found a davlan blog site:
I also receive this odd “error in cuisdk initialization” when I tried to rotate. At first I thought it was the button driver/utility installation problem in xp/vista but I realized it was actually a video driver problem. I installed the vista version (choose compatibility mode option when it fails regularly because it’s not designed for windows 7) and it selected override the current version which was 8.5 or something to the 7.14 version. A reboot later and I was auto rotating by swivel or manually rotating by button; no problems.
January 26th, 2010 at 2:04
Kunchi, Are you saying the mouse drivers from 2010/win 7 may help my autorotate or were you assessing something else?
January 26th, 2010 at 5:37
no i had errors with mouse when i used the one from the 810/1010, the one for the 2020 win7 worked for that, my second post talks about the error on rotate.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:48
I’ll look for the video driver. Not certain I know what it is.
January 26th, 2010 at 23:47

Thanks Andre, and EliasB!! I just used your files and instructions and Windows 7 works great! This breathed life into a previously sluggish device.
February 18th, 2010 at 2:54
Has anyone had trouble with SD card reader? Mine had worked before but is not seeing the cards (have tried several) anymore. No error messages or anything, just nothing happens when insert. Any suggestions? EB??
Also…not sure if related or not but occasionally have similar issue with some USB portable hard drives.
February 18th, 2010 at 2:55
Oh yeah…U810 w/ W7
February 19th, 2010 at 2:04
@ SLL,
I only updated with Windows Update, everything is working fine, SD-Card & USB.
