You remedy it by installing drivers. Since the Leopard DVD does not have drivers for Windows 7, you're probably going to be out of luck unless you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard or Lion.

One thing you could try... identify the wireless card in your Mac and then go to the manufacturer's web site and see if a driver for Windows 7 is available and download\install it while booted up in Windows 7.
