This is normal for Windows 2000, because it is no longer supported, it does not have the required interfaces to use the newer Skype clients, so please try this version, what happens?
For Testing ONLY! Please do NOT stay on this release and post back if this works.
In your case and your case only.
1. Please stop any and all running Skype Client programs on your system.
2. Using your Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs uninstall Skype, when prompted to save your history, choose yes.
3. Using Windows File Explorer do:
%appdata%\skype
If you find a file called shared.xml right click on it and choose delete.
4. If you see a folder for the Skype name in question, click on it, if you see a file called Config.xml right click on it and choose delete.
5. You will need to copy/paste the link below into the browser window of your choice:
