On PC you have to open the configuration utility and manually locate the save folder. This step is not necessary in ME3.
Ah, problem solved (after some file-hunting and a great deal of words I wouldn't use in front of my mother). Thanks guys!
Could you tell me how you did it? Im having the same issue. Dont know how to open that configuration tool. Thanks!

If you version of Mass Effect 2 doesn't launch with a splash screen, then you have to locate the config utility manually. Locate the folder where Mass Effect is installed. Then go to Binaries and open 'MassEffect2Config'. There's a button on the left about save games. After clicking it, a button appears called 'copy Mass Effect 1 saves' that allows you to browse to the folder containing your save files. The folder is usually Documents - BioWare - Mass Effect - Save. Once you're there, simply click OK. There's no fancy message or anything, but it should be fine now.
This forum really should be updated. If you run the configuration utility on mass effect two PC (part of the trilogy) it breaks something and the game will not load. As far as i can see there has been no real solution to this issue. If the config has been run, the game needs to be completely uninstalled and reinstalled in order to make it playable. Now I'm trying to find a way to manually copy over the save files, cause if i can't continue form the first game, im returning the game.
Hi i have got that same problem do you know how i can repair it?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries
Open Mass Effect config.
Open the save games tab.
Click the "Copy Mass Effect 1 Save Games"-button.
Locate the Mass Effect 1 saves folder:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
This is the standard folder where your Mass Effect saves are.
Click "OK".
Congrats! You just imported your saves!
I can't find it is it because I play the in origin and when i try the way you say it the game just won't start up
