Hi everybody,

I tried this through 3CX sales but they send me here to ask if anybody can be of assistance...

I am using the 3CXPhone5 software with my Telfort Voip account successfully, but I also like to use it on a older laptop which I could take with me on vacations and such.

This laptop runs Windows 2000 SP4. I tried installing a previous version of 3CXPhone (which is version 4) but the installer refuses to install because the package is not for the Windows 2000 OS. Supposedly the version 4 package is suited for Windows 2000 but eilas...no luck getting it to go and install itself...

Does anybody have (or can point me to) a stable version suited for Windows 2000 ?

Regards, Sander Tel.

Hi

Unfortunately, 3CXPhone doesn't run on Win2000, minimum OS required is Win XP - it uses some system APIs available only on XP or greater.

Hi Vali,

In it self wierd, because I have read somewhere on the 3CX website that a version 4 should be suited for Windows 2000...

Does anyone have a (Windows 2000) suited version stored ? Maybe version 4 or 3 ?

regards, Sander

Hi Sander

I've checked on the forum, because I remembered at one time somebody has the same issue/request as you, please have a look:

This old reply of mine is dated september 2009 and refers even an older 3CXPhone version, 3, than you mentioned.
I don't like to advice somebody "upgrade your operating system" or "upgrade your PC" because I don't like when somebody give me such kind of advice But, the truth is 3CXPhone will not work on Windows 2000.

If you really want to try, no problem, send me by PM an eMail address and I will send you from my archives either the ver 3 or 4 I have (obviously, they are discontinued products and no longer available for download) - but, I repeat, they will not work and, even in case, they lack a lot, a lot of features compared to current ver 5 (to not say compared to future ver 6).
