I am reiterating my stand on you making the softphone app compatible with Win2000 and earlier versions
I took a lot of flack from the ignorant and uninformed on this board re: "make freephoneline available to the widest
amount of users". My point being it only takes a couple of lines of code to do so.
Well because I was right, and those even smarter than I have the have the answer for you, as I suspect
that your programmer has taken the lazy route and has been using MS VC++ 2010 for compiling his/her/their
code for new versions of the freephone app. Which itself lacks support for 2000 pro and earlier because that's
what Redmond wants. To cut off support for any of their past OSs that lack that activation nonsense by third
party vendors.
See this discussion over at the MSFN.org board:

While the point of the thread is to get me to use the Unofficial Update Rollup package
(and I will, as soon as I backup my boot drive/partition) the fact is that you can
support all windows users easily by applying this:

I released [url="http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1452362.html"]Windows 9x / 2000 Library for VC++2010.[/url] before.
If you compile with this library on VC++2010 , your program does not only work on Windows 2000 but also Windows 95/98/Me !

I may have lost some of the formatting but the original post is still there to follow the URLs.
That should settle it once and for all.
G'day.
