VirtualBox 1.5.6 is the final version officially supported for vanilla Windows 2000, but VirtualBox 2.0.4 is the final version using a modified kernel driver made by BWC.

But, if you use the extended kernel and core, you can use VirtualBox 4.1.22 (and possibly up to about 4.1.32 - 4.2 introduces driver incompatibilities). However, you must manually install the kernel/networking/USB drivers from the "drivers" folder in VirtualBox's program folder using the included infs.

USB 2.0 passthrough seems to be broken, just like in 1.5.x. 

I've wasted a massive amount of time trying to get VBox 4.x to work, but to no avail. Removing the OS check with Orca causes a premature fail of the setup program. The last version I was able to install with either Orca of FCWIN2K is 2.1.4.

Does anyone have any idea which version of PCem is the last to support Windows 2000 as the host OS? Just curious.

I highly doubt it v17 works on Win2K has host...

Thank you for the information! I'll do a test extraction of PCem v17 on Win2K to see which dependencies are missing. :)

I ran Dependency Walker and this is what I found when I tried to execute PCem:

KERNEL32.DLL is missing the AttachConsole dependency. USER32.DLL is missing GetRawInputData, GetRawInputDeviceInfoA, GetRawInputDeviceList and RegisterRawInputDevices. These dependencies are only present on Windows XP and up.

By the way, if you have gotten around compiling a PCem build for Windows 2000, please let me know. ^_^

Patching the import table is easy.

Is it possible to run AnyDesk on Win2k machine?

It does work fine on my WinXP machine, but it doesn't start at all when I've tryed to run it in my Win2k machine. After I click .exe file. nothing happens. I have latest Extended Kernel installed.

blackwingcat's blog is now moved to https://win2k.org/blog/.

He investigated it here: https://win2k.org/blog/2023/08/07/post-6152/, see this as well: https://win2k.org/blog/2023/08/11/post-6173/

Final result: AnyDesk 1.1.0 can be run on Windows 2000: https://win2k.org/blog/2023/08/12/post-6177/, and 4.2.1 as well (though, it's unusable): https://win2k.org/blog/2023/08/14/post-6191/

In conclusion: AnyDesk can run on Windows 2000, but only versions 1.1.0 and 4.2.1. Note that you have to use a translator as the blog is in Japanese.

Would it be possible to test this program on Windows NT 4? I do not have a machine on me.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/keynote-newfeat/

NT4 require :

[winspool.drv]
GetDefaultPrinterW
[user32.dll]
GetLastInputInfo
MonitorFromWindow >> requires monitor struct in win32k.sys
GetMonitorInfoW  >> requires monitor struct in win32k.sys
MonitorFromRect >> requires monitor struct in win32k.sys
EnumDisplayMonitors >> requires monitor struct in win32k.sys
MonitorFromPoint >> requires monitor struct in win32k.sys
[kernel32.dll]
GetCPInfoExW
VerSetConditionMask
GetUserDefaultUILanguage
GetSystemDefaultUILanguage

So no NT 4.0 compatibility? Got it! I appreciate your time. :)

It's 2024, and I'm surprised we don't really have a good idea of latest working media players for Windows 2000. I plan to check the following later:

  • VLC 1.1.9
  • Haihaisoft Universal Player 1.5.8.0 - Does not work
  • AllPlayer - I can't find an old version from 2011 - 2014 that's working; corrupted file
  • MPlayer
  • UMPlayer - Works, even plays wmv files
  • SMPlayer
  • PotPlayer
  • ZoomPlayer 12.0 - Works, needs codecs for video
  • GomPlayer
  • MPC-HC - Only up to version 1.3 works, I think
  • FullPlayer 6.3 - Does not work
  • KMPlayer 3.4.0.59 (November 2012) - Works with errors...needs codecs for video...
  • Total Video Player 1.31 - Works, but doesn't support WMV files
  • SockPlayer 2.1.4 - Does not work
  • MSPlayer - Works
  • vso-media-player - ??? (File was corrupt)
  • SPlayer
  • HUPlayer 1.0.5.3 - Does not work

Searching uptodown, softpedia, filehippio, and oldversion for media players. I found an MP4 player for NT 4.0, so nothing is impossible. ;)
