Game won't maximize from tray (ALL ME GAMES)

I recently bought the Mass Effect trilogy.

I went to run Mass Effect (Original) and the game loads up but both my screens flash black for a while and all I can hear is the game sound, then the game minimises to the Windows Taskbar. When I try to maximise the game again, the same thing happens. This happens for all Mass Effect games. Can't check if it happens for simply all Origin games as I don't have any others but this doesn't happen for any Steam/other games on my PC. My PC is running Win8.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Solution so far was to go into MassEffectConfig.exe and set it to run in Windowed. I believe this is because ME doesn't support 16:10 monitors perhaps?

    COMPLETE SOLUTION FOUND:

    Using MassEffectConfig, set the resolution to the exact one for your monitor and your game will run fine fullscreen.
