When my win98/95 program is actively accessing the CD-ROM drive
(streaming music) and the end-user pushes the eject button and the
door opens, I get a Blue-Screen of text asking them to insert it once
more.

This Blue-Screen destroys my exclusive-mode graphics environment. I
wish to bypass the Blue-Screen and handle the read error myself, OR
disable the eject mechanism during my program's execution.
On Win2K there is no blue-screen, only a pleasant message box which
handles the removal gracefully and my program goes on about its
business!
What can I do?

You can probably by-pass this by calling "SetErrorMode" to disable the
standard Windows critical error handler.
