I have a 2 month old laptop, an HP dv6-1355dx that has integrated video. I installed ME 2 fine but when I hit "play" on the opening menu, the screen goes dark as if to start a loading screen but then before anything comes up, the screen goes back to the desktop and has an error message, "the program has encountered an error and will shut down" Some pals suggested a video card issue so I made sure all my video drivers are up to date but still no game coming up, same problem. I've looked through the message boards but can't find anything similar. Can someone help me?

No. You are supposed to use a game-capable PC, not what you have.

PC MINIMUM System Requirements
OS = Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
Processor = 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
Memory = 1 GB RAM for Windows XP / 2 GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
Hard Drive = 15 GB
DVD ROM = 1x Speed
Sound Card = DirectX 9.0c compatible
Direct X = DirectX 9.0c August 2008 (included)
Input = Keyboard / Mouse
Video Card = 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported GPU Chips: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater; ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater. Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9200, and 9300; ATI Radeon HD 2400, 3100, 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4200, and HD 4350 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required. Intel and S3 video devices are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2.

Note the words in boldface -- an actual circuit board with the GPU attached to it is required.  So Intel and S3 are eliminated twice over, and ATI / nVIDIA just once, if their onboard chips are involved.

EDIT: Yeah, unless your laptop specs matched the MINIMUM system requirements, then you can't play the game at all.
