Mass Effect 1 won't start

I've downloaded Mass Effect 1 by Origin for a while and it worked well.

Last time I played DLC Pinnacle Station and didn't save.

Now it won't start neither through Origin nor by MassEffect.exe.

I have reinstalled both Origin and Mass Effect 1 itself but it still cannot be fixed.

Is there any other solution?

    Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME > Repair)

    If that don't works:

    • Turn off "Cloud storage" in Origin.
      (Origin menu > Origin > Application Settings > Install & Saves > Cloud storage > Off (Grey)
    • If you use Steam you don't have to do anything, unless you have added Mass Effect manually to Streams cloud save function.
    • Make sure Origin or Steam are closed.
    • Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect" folder and move the "Save" folder and the "Config" folder to your desktop. > Test.
