Error in opening Mass Effect 1 on Windows 7
Ok, so I have spent several hours troubleshooting this.
This is what I get both when I open the Launcher and hit play, and when I directly open the .exe file that it claims to not be able to find.
I have done the following to try to attempt to fix this:
- Installed the 1.02 Patch
- Running in Windows XP Compatibility Mode
- Running as Admin
- Updating Graphics Driver
- Setting UseEffectsProcessing from True to False in the BaseEngine.ini file
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm trying to run it on my Windows 7 Toshiba Satellite, Intel Centrino processor, and 3GB of ram.

Disable and enable the games using the \u201cTurn Windows features on or off\u201d feature. Note: Uncheck Games and restart the computer to disable the games. Re-check the same and restart to enable the games.Will Mass Effect Legendary Edition run on Windows 7?
The game does not run on Windows 7 or 8.1 and there is currently no way to make it run.Can you play Mass Effect Legendary Edition Windows 8?
Re: Will the legendary edition be playable on Windows 8.1? I can confirm, that you cannot play it on windows 8.1 or lower. The game will not run, as a required set of files from Windows 10 are needed for it to run, and they are not backwards compatible files.Mass Effect 1 PC Fix - Getting the Game to Launch (Windows 7 Only)
