Mass Effect 1 on Windows 10 [ Edited ]

[ApostolisAektzis]

I bought the Mass Effect Trilogy yesterday.I installed all 3 games.When i launched Mass Effect 1,nothing happened.It did not even showed something like "the program has stopped working".When i run the game as administrator (with Windows XP3 in compatibility tab and the run as administrator box checked) origin crashes and stops.Also,i have done all the updates.How can i play it on Windows 10?Here are my specs:i5-4440,8GB ram,1TB WD Blue,R9 270,Asus b85M-G2

Is this the issue you're having? http://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-1/PC-Mass-Effect-Won-t-Start-A-New-Solution/td-p/1435666

I had a similar issue in Origin where Dragon Age Inquisition wouldn't launch. In the task manager the process showed up for a second and then disappeared again. I fixed this by running Origin as administrator. Once you check that option, you'll always get an error when launching Origin, but at least in my case the problem is solved.

I just checked and the link isn't dead for me. If you can't use the link, it's one of the sticky threads on this subforum.
