diálogo de instruções

Explanation:
Você está traduzindo software. A terminologia da área já consagrou o termo 'diálogo' ou 'caixa de diálogo'.
Esse é o jargão da área e é assim que o pessoal entenderá melhor.

Pessoalmente, acho 'caixa de diálogo' um dessses 'erros consagrados', já que nas empresas, os avisos são colocados em 'quadros de aviso' e não em 'caixas de aviso'.
Entretanto, o pessoal de TI deste lado do ATlântico está abandonando o termo 'caixa' e deixando somente 'diálogo'.

balão de instruções

Explanation:
Como o desta foto, é um "balão" como os usados em revistas em quadrinhos:

* Do Houaiss:
balão - nas histórias em quadrinhos, espaço ger. arredondado, limitado por uma linha, que encerra as falas ou pensamentos de um personagem, freq. com uma ponta alongada ou série de bolinhas direcionada para o mesmo.

"Caixa de diÃ¡logo", que seria a traduÃ§Ã£o de "dialog box", nÃ£o tem nada a ver com os balÃµes, que sÃ£o um novo elemento de interface introduzido nos softwares da Microsoft a partir da linha XP (jÃ¡ eram usados antes no Macintosh).
