No, there should not be any reason to mess with ntdll.dll.

I need you to run CMC in debug mode. Since you can't start it, I'll need you to edit the CMC.cfg file manually.

Find the DebugLoggin=False line, and change it to True, and save the change.

Then try to run CMC again.

Send me the new files ...

Well, CMC itself doesn't really have an original folder name. It just lives where you unzip it. I normally put it in CMC, but I notice that you like to name it for the version. That's fine and all, but can lead to problems with CCC.

Hi Some Random User.

Sorry to read about your struggles with legal UHD Blu-ray playback. You'd think it would, or at least should, be simple, but it's extremely convoluted and essentially broken.

Basically, if you legally buy UHD Blu-ray's and want to watch them on your PC, which seems like a ...
