After a good while I decided to reinstall my Mass Effect 1 last night. Everything was going fine till I hit the play button and it launched into were configuration to set it to my system were application just goes about halfway and errors out. I have run this game many times before on this PC with never any trouble.

ACER ASPIRE 7540-1317
AMD Athion II x2 M300 (2.0 GHz)
ATI Radeon HD 4200
WIN 7

That is very common with cheap onboard video solutions such as yours. If that's a laptop, you can forget about Mass Effect any further and stick with older games and/or MMOs that are better suited to poking along slowly on junk instead of a real video card. 

With luck, it's a desktop in a standard size and shape tower case, so you can upgrade wit with a real, game-capable video card instead of the tiny little integrated chip that it's unable to do much with, except at coarse, raggedy screen resolutions..

I really doubt that, I play a lot newer high end games with no problem at all. As an example I have no trouble at all playing the CoD games which is a lot more high end graphic / graphics engine then mass effect.

Actually the unreal engine's demands are on par with games like mw2

When the noobs become brainwashd by Intel, to the effect that real video cards aren't needed, ear plugs are part of their costume thereafter, so remonstrating with them becomes nonproductive.  AMD has been making the best of all the IGPs lately, but it's still just a shrunken copy of what the HD 2400 Pro was four years ago, a now-elderly business graphics solution, intended for charts, graphs, presentations, and spreadsheets.

(I looked up the original CoD game, didn't see any date, but the requirements are more primitive, almost, than NWN1 or Morrowind. ~~ http://www.ultimate-...com/cod/cod.htm )

CoD4 seems on a par with Oblivion, perhaps, from almost five years ago. I assume it's a shooter, which I've never had an interest in before the RPGs started morphing.

I was really just trying to point out to the first poster that I really didn't feel he knew what he was talking about. I have no problem playing Mass Effect 2 on my laptop and it's demands on my Laptop are even greater then Mass Effect. Today I have reformated my harddrive and am hoping it may help. I made the mistake of downloading IE 9c Beta and I seem to have trouble since I did that with my system.

I would if I was going to get the other add on's for mass effect. Last time I DL them they weren't worth the time it took to install them.
