Skype 4.2 on Windows 2000

[Stefan43]

Hello,

 

is it possible to keep using Skype 4.2.0.187 on Windows 2000? I don't know where I can change the version number.

We do have an (in)active conversation going on about Skype on Windows 2000. Let me ask you, why is 4.2 so special to you? Is there a particular reason you want to use that version?

Hello,

 

no, there is not really a particular reason for that version. But because it was the last version for Windows 2000, I installed that version. But it is working now, I found a portable version. http://pockethacks.com/how-to-use-an-old-version-of-skype-3-8-and-4-2-portable-and-fully-working/

We do have version 5.5 I believe it is which works on Windows 2000 with the extended kernel. I'm also about to try 3.8 which was modded for Windows 98, it runs and detects my webcam and I can make calls so I'm thinking it works and it doesn't come with bloatware ads like the new versions do.
