Mass Effect 1 is not working

[ArtemisGray87]

I bought Mass Effect 1 off Origin after a long time of not having had the game due to the disc being scratched. I downloaded it and all but now it wants to know absolutely nothing about working. Double click the shortcut and the it says this: Mass Effect has stopped working. I really want to know what is going on since I really love this series and want to be able to finish it on my own terms and not saves I salvage from other people.

Help would seriously be appreciated.

open the file where mass effect is located, then click on the file named 'binaries'. then click on the 'masseffect' program file.

hope this helps.
