Mass Effect 1 won't launch
Just what it says on the tin.
I can't launch Mass Effect.
I open up origin. Go to my game library. Click the button to play Mass Effect.
A box that says "launching" comes up.
It says "Synching Cloud Data" and a bar fills up to 100%
Then...nothing. The "Launching/Synching" box closes and nothing happens. I tried rebooting and that had no effect.
There's a Mass Effect-support board here, you might get some more in-depth steps there.

However, to start with, try running ME in Windows XP Compatibility mode.To do this, go to Origin Games > Mass Effect > Binaries, then right-click the Mass Effect exe file, and go to the Compatibility tab, where you should see a checkbox for available modes.
