Boot Camp: x86 Windows drivers

So I installed Windows using Boot Camp. Support drivers were moved to my USB stick.

I started up driver installer, and it says that this type of file is not supported by this version of Windows. This is probably because I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (x86). I didn't find any x86 support drivers anywhere.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

That's because you have downloaded the Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers are only compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions. In order to get the correct Boot Camp version for your 32-bit Windows, download them from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/downloads


Another option you have is to upgrade to a 64-bit Windows version
