Okay so this question is about Mass Effect 1 because I couldn't see anywhere else to post this. I apologise if it's in the wrong category.
I got Mass Effect 1 the other day for PC. I bought it on disk for $15, inserted the disk, run the setup, saved it to C:/Program Files/Mass Effect.From there, the launcher was placed on my desktop. When I run it, however, I just got the error message 'Mass Effect has stopped working.' Then all I have left to do it close it and try again. I opened C:/Program Files/Mass Effect/Binaries/Mass Effect.exe but I got the same thing - Mass Effect has stopped working.I'm running Windows 7 so I ran Mass Effect.exe in compatibility mode for XP SP1, 2 and 3 but this time I got a different error message:

General Protection fault!History GMatrix2D::Swap() Address=0x10bb5676 (filename not found) [inC:\\Program Files\\Mass Effect\\Binaries\\MassEffect.exe\\]Address=0x16753ee4 (filename not found)

I've tried reinstalling many times and even got the latest patch.

Still no luck.Any suggestions? I was considering getting a Windows XP Emulator.

Assuming your hardware is up to scratch, try these;
Run the game as an admin, update your graphics drivers, delete the contents of the game config folder in My Documents (or whatever the Win 7 equivalent is).

Or try the steps here http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=1585737

I don't think no_subject's answer is quite correct there. Try disabling any anti-virus software and any firewalls you may have. It seems that the disk has something wrong in order not to install.

My answer is correct. As the OP has stated, he/she has reinstalled several times, so I am assuming the setup has installed correctly. Bioware's installer also validates files are correct before setup. The GPF error has been well documented and most cases are fixed with a graphics driver update. Either that or the hardware being used is insufficient to run the game. There is a continuing thread about this in the ME1 tech forum anyway.

I hope this is the right way to post to forums. I had bought Mass Effect 1 and installed and played and then a few months later had to reload my pc's harddrives now I reinstalled it and everytime I hit the play button it trys to get the system info and I get an error message. Anyone with ideas please help.

Here is the Mass Effect 1 forum. Also, it might even help to post your system specifications in this format for us.
I assume you were able to play it before your HDD crash? Have you tried a re-install of Mass Effect 1? Is it the system configuration for mass effect that is giving you an error? Is Mass Effect patched up to 1.02? Lot's of questions, even a screenshot of the problem can help.
