deal with pop-up warning window

I am working with a database program and using Macro Scheduler to automatic populate the database software by have the data ready on .txt file. However, I want to do some error checking when things go wrong, the database would prompt a pop-up warning window. The kind similar to the one you find from Internet Explorer ->Help -> About Internet Explorer.
The warning messages can not be highlighted but I want to be able to retrieve them and keep them in a log.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your help.

a) save them as images (alt+print --> clipboard. I've found a commandline image converter ages ago (Unix/Windows) but can't remember the name.

Would have been helpful to save the images as jpg ...)

or

b) if you have a collection of captured errors/images check for a pattern (filesize,pixelcolor,etc.) and if identified, "translate" them into plain text for a log.

or

c) check if an image is matching a previously captured one.

Maybe you should use Capture. A tiny tool which can be configured and works with KShortcuts.

Or ImageConversion: Omniformat !

I'm definitely not brain dead ...

Get it @ --> ImageMagic

Image conversion at it's best:

a) from the commandline (happy scripting)
b) freeware

Thank you! Seems like this tool is going to work.
