I just loaded Windows 7 on my MAC. My MAC is the last of the white ones they made.

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz

I can't seem to see my wireless Internet. It doesn't show if there is any wi fi or anything. Can someone help please?

Which version of OS X are you running? The answer to that question will tell us how you should proceed to install the Boot Camp support software, which is the last step in the Boot Camp installation process. Those drivers will enable your WiFi and a number of other functions that make it easier to work in Windows with your Apple hardware.

Click on the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen, and then click on "About this Mac".

Click the Apple menu and then go to 'About this Mac'. It should look something like this:

OK. Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or System Disc 1) into the optical drive while Windows is running. Then, proceed to install the Boot Camp support software.

Ok. I did all that and it loaded fine. Most everything is working except I have no way of seeing any wireless Internet. For example mine. And my mouse pad is acting strange. I played with the settings but still my right button does not work.

Whilst in Windows 7 do an Apple Software Update and see if that solves your problem.

You need to set the Mouse options in the Boot Camp Control Panel applet to allow two-fingered taps for right-click. You'll then need to connect to your wireless network by using the wireless control icon from the system tray (the area near the clock, bottom-right corner).

Here's an article that explains how to connect to wireless networks with Windows 7:

View and connect to available wireless networks

If you don't have the needed icon, do as Harry described above and be sure to install the updated Boot Camp drivers, by using the Apple Software Update program.
