Been playing off a fresh PC install from the trilogy box set. I hit play and see the cloud synch bar, then I get the Microsoft Windows error "Mass Effect has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is a available." Only change since I lasted played was a video card driver update. I've ran "Repair Install" and still can't launch the game.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Given such limited information, WHY have you not retraced yiour steps to return to the graphics driver you used before?

I've rolled back to the previous driver, no luck. Uninstalled then reinstalled the game, no luck. Restored my pc to a point 3 days before this started happening, and still no luck. I've also ran 'repair install' in Origin and still no luck.

am having the same problem...mass effect won't start. Wat do u mean by running Origin as admin?

If the program is already running close it.
1) Mouse over the icon and right click to bring up the menu.
2) From the menu select "Run as administrator".

Same thing happened to me.
Closed Origin and ran Origin as administrator and then it worked.

**bleep**, mine still won't work, even after running as administrator. What now?

I have spent up to 4 hours searching and testing fixes to this problem, NOTHING works. lets face it, the game is dead. and the hacks on EA haven't got a clue of what to do. :robotmad:
