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.
