Just bought Mass Effect 1 from Origin on my new rig.
Every time I try to start it, just stops working. I can't even get to the title screen. Running the game with Admin privileges doesn't help. All of my drivers are up to date.
When I start the game, it takes me to the configuration utility. When I press play in the utility it goes to the ME logo, then my screen goes black for 2 seconds and a message pops up saying ME.exe stopped working.
My specs are:
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- AMD Phenom processor
- Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
- 8 gigs of ram

I had that problem in Win7 too. You can either check Windows XP compatibility mode in the shortcut or .exe file properties, or right-click the game shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
