I just loaded Mass Effect on my new desktop, everything seems fine but when I start the game up and the program attempts to configure my computer, something goes wrong and it just stops.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice already and I do not have this problem with Mass Effect 2.

"Newness" means almost nothing. Only the system requirements mean something, sorry. (And the official published PC requirements were wrong, at least about the graphics.)

(Corrected from dumb, Pie in the Sky lies to the real thing)

Windows XP or Vista

2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMD

You should have made certain you knew what you were buying before laying your credit card down!   Meanwhile, you do or do not want any replies?  What version (hard copy or digital, PC or console),  what patch level, what operating system if it's for a PC, what service pack level, what are all the details you are withholding?

I made certain I had what was required. That was the point of buying the new computer, so I could play this game.

ARGH! All I needed to do was download the patch, and now it works. Thanks for helping, I'm sorry I was getting frustrated.
