  1. 1. Actually, we can have much newer than this. Although the stable installer of TeamViewer 14.2 won't install, the portable will: https://dl.teamviewer.com/download/version_14x/14.2.56673/TeamViewerPortable.zip It works fine (and it detects my webcam). According to the official TeamViewer website, version 14.2 is the last one working on Windows XP, so I assume it is also the last one working on Windows 2k. 2. There is a lot of wrong info on the Internet that Opera 12.18 is the last working version on Windows 2k (with BlackwingCat's kernel extension). Opera Portable 36.0 installs and works just fine: https://portableapps.com/downloading/?a=OperaPortable36&n=Opera%20Portable%20Legacy%2036&s=s&p=&d=pa&f=OperaPortable36_36.0.2130.80.paf.exe Don't forget to add the flag --no-sandbox to the shortcut target. 3. Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112 also works on Windows 2k (that is the last official working version for Windows XP). But it is a bit problematic to install it: 1st try (failure): The online installer https://dl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}%26iid%3D{4CC3734A-87C1-54C2-D4DA-9B81661C8DDC}%26lang%3Den%26browser%3D3%26usagestats%3D0%26appname%3DGoogle%20Chrome%26needsadmin%3Dprefers%26ap%3Dstable-arch_x86%26installdataindex%3Dempty/update2/installers/ChromeSetup.exe?src=1&filename=ChromeSetup.exe won't install on Windows 2000 ("This version of Windows is not supported" or something like that). 2nd try (also failure) The portable installer https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Google Chrome Portable/GoogleChromePortable_49.0.2623.112_online.paf.exe/download will install, but the executable ChromePortable.exe won't execute (like nothing happens, and the flag --no-sandbox does not help). 3rd try (success ): Install the online installer on Windows XP, and copy the installed folder to Windows 2000, to its original path: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application Then copy the file chrome_elf.dll from Application\49.0.2623.112 subfolder to Application folder, right next to chrome.exe executable. And that's it. Actually, it isn't. You also need to add the flag --no-sandbox to the shortcut target (and --disable-infobars also comes handy). 4. Skype for Web also works on Windows 2k. Check this article (and my comment there) for more details: http://www.skaip.org/skype-for-web-on-windows-xp-and-windows-vista
  2. According to the info that I have, Windows Movie Maker 1.2.1 is the last version that works fine on Windows 2000. But I cannot find it. I have only Windows Movie Maker 1.1 that I copied from a freshly installed Windows XP SP1. If anyone has the zipped folder of WMM 1.2.1 or the *.exe update file (that updates WMM 1.1 to WMM 1.2.1) could you please share a download link here?
  3. This info is for Windows 2000 SP4 with BlackWingCat's extended kernel: 1. TeamViewer 8.0.258861 works fine. Though it does not detect my webcam (Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro) for some reason. But I found a way to bypass the problem: I start Logitech webcam software and then share the screen in TeamViewer. 2. Allavsoft Video Downloader 3.22.9.7563 (the newest version as of today) works well. It is the best video downloader that I know, because it never refuses to download a video for unknown reasons (like YTD Video Downloader) and it can download virtually every Internet video that I tried (even Twitter videos, that no other video downloader I tried could do). 3. CamStudio 2.7.4 (the newest version as of today) works well. About video screencasting, there was no problem. But the audio recording was problematic. I managed to fix it (somehow) though I'm not sure if I could repeat that. When I chose to record audio from speakers, there was error message "WaveoutGetSelectControl() failed." and the resulting *.avi files had no sound. I uninstalled it, and tried installing older versions (2.7.2, 2.7.0, 2.6b), The error message "WaveoutGetSelectControl() failed." was persistent, until it suddenly stopped appearing. I installed the newest version again, and everything was fine (screen recording + audio grabbing).
  4. I have XnView 2.43 from May 2020 installed on my Windows 2000 SP4 (with BlackWingCat's extended kernel) and it works fine. Both the stable and portable versions work fine. However, the official XnView plugin for HEIC images does not work on Windows 2000. Here is the info about that plugin: ================================================================================== XnView is an Image viewer and converter software (available in installer and portable versions) that offers an external plugin to open and view HEIC images on Windows platform. You can download the plugin with this link: http://www.xnview.com/download/plugins/heif_x32.zip After downloading, extract its content within the ‘Plugins‘ folder of XnView image viewer. Once the plugin is installed, you will be required to enable ‘Display all image file types’ setting from Tools > Options > General to make the plugin work. ================================================================================== When I extract and enable that plugin in Windows 7, it works well, and XnView is able to open HEIC images. But when I extract it and enable it in Windows 2000, it does not work. Does anyone maybe know the reason why it doesn't work on Windows 2000? Right now I'm using Dropbox in New Moon web browser to view HEIC images in Windows 2000. But I would like to have an offline HEIC viewer.
