1. Does the modal window have a title, and if so, what is it?
Exceptions? Warning? Note? Just a graphic?

2. Who's your audience? Will anyone understand what Exceptions means? If
Exceptions is used by the error window, wouldn't they be able to put 2
and 2 together?

Just throwing out questions, as you don't provide a lot of info to go
on.
