May be compiling Gwyddion over the cygwin version that supports win2k can be an option. I have the working 10years-old AFM setup that survived hardware upgrade to i3-4170 with AMD R3 video (probably most modern hardware configuration that decently supports 3 PCI boards and WinXP) but still use Win XP and modern Gwyddion over it, but it took some time to make it working.
