Before upgrading from an old Win95-based laptop to a new laptop running Win2kPE, I used a HP ScanJet 3200C scanner. This parallel port scanner worked perfectly with the Win95 driver.
However, no driver exists for this model under Win2kPE. HP onlyprovides an upgrade driver for those who previously installed the Win95 driver.
This is not my case, as I want to fully install the scanner under Win2kPR, without previous installation.
Win2kPE includes the APCOMPAT.EXE facility to install driversbased on older versions of Windows. However, this application ends responding when I try to install the Win95-based driver...

Does anybody know whether it is possible to temporarily install Win95 on a Win2kPE-based machine, so that I can installthe Win95 driver, and then upgrade to the Win2kPE driver ?

Best greetings
