Mass Effect 1 crashes at Therum

Hello

Whenever I try to land on Therum (first mission there), the game crashes after about 2 seconds of loading. Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any solutions for it?

I can't find any option to validate install files (or whatever it's called in Origin). Tried running as administrator, and in compatibility mode, to no avail.

Thanks

    I had no trouble landing and haven't experienced a crash.

    If you open MassEffectConfig.exe (located in the same folder as Mass Effect.exe) you will see a Repair option.  I thought that there was one in Origin itself, but I can't find it.

    I've had a look inside masseffectconfig - it's pretty useless in my opinion. There's an option to delete local shader files, and to create a firewall exception, and icon creation. 

    I can guess and say that I might be missing a local cutscene file, or something (had a look here C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect\BioGame\CookedPC but can't find where the apporiate files are). I think a reinstall may be in order.
