Mass Effect 1, Citadel Upper Wards, bug when watching the view

I've entered the Upper Wards for the first time. I walk over to the large window with the great view, and interact with it. This triggers a scene of Shepard and Ashley watching the view. As soon as Ashley has made her first comment, the scene is abruptly canceled and I find myself back in normal gameplay mode, except that the brightness is turned almost entirely down, leaving my screen nearly black. Everything is fine when I reload, but I'd really like to be able to watch those window view scenes (don't want to miss all the dialogue). Any advice on how to resolve this problem?

    You say it's a scene where "Shepard and Ashley" watch the view. Is Kaidan in your squad? He's supposed to be there. If he's not, that's probably the cause of the problem.

    no, I have the same problem and both Kaidan and Ashley are in my team...I think the scene can only be triggered when they both are there anyway. still the game seems to have problems loading the answers you can give during that scene. I had that problem also during an earlier playthrough, though in that case restarting the game at another day resolved the problem.

    Edit: Yup, restarting the pc solved the problem again.
