Hello, I am having problems getting Mass Effect started in the PC version downloaded from Steam. I would apreciate any help i could get.

My PC:
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2390 1.86 GHz
Physical Memory: 1,99 GB, Available 952 MB
Video: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family VRAM:448MB Drivers: 7.15.10.1666 (latest)
Sound: Speakers (RealTek High Definition Audio) Driver: 6.0.1.5449
DirectX: 10.0
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic
Game version: 1.02

So, I first tried to run the game but it crashed instanly. I searched the forums and saw the frequent problem with Mass Effect downloaded from Steam concerning the administrator issues. I chose then to run the game in administrator mode and this time (after it had requested permission twice to run the game) I got a small starting screen after wich the screen turned black and right after it crashed again.
I tried running the game in XP compatibility mode after wich in the black screen I got the following message:

General protection fault
History: general2D swap matrix =longnumber (filename not found) etc. (or something similar)

What do you think may be the problem? I initially wasnt so sure the game would run due to graphical issues (apparently the video card is a rather odd one that steam doesnt recognise) but well, after having played Half-Life 2 Successfully I decided i might give it a try.

Thanks for your attention.
