Col, you are a self-confessed numpty when it comes to computers so I know you won't mind my saying that I think you're blaming Windows 7 for problems elsewhere. That isn't going to dictate what formats you can save in: the applications, eg Gimp, will be doing that.
If you've still got the old version you used to use backed-up somewhere try running that with the compatibility thing as suggested by David.
Following your recommendation some months ago I tried Gimp and couldn't make head or tail of it. I've just tried to download it again and it won't do it for me either and this PC has XP Home on it.
Screen shots are by far the easiest way to go and another method is this. Click Start, Programs, Accessories and then Snipping Tool. This will then let you draw a box around part of the screen and save it as a JPG, eg:-
This was introduced with Vista so I expect 7 will have it too.
