Mass Effect 2: Change Aspect Ratio to 16:9

I just booted up Mass Effect 2 on Windows 10, and it comes up as a square screen with bars on both sides. Is there a way to change the resolution to 1920x1080 to fit my computer screen? Graphics card...

    There should be a resolution setting in the graphics options. If you don't see that, you can instead open the config utility and set the graphics there.  The config utility is in the folder where Mass Effect 2 is installed and is called MassEffect2Launcher.exe.

I have the game on Steam (since release) and on Origin, the "MassEffect2Config.exe" is in both installations in the ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder respectively in the ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder. 
I however saw installations where the "MassEffect2Config.exe" was one directory above this path.

There are not that much more you can config in the tool anyway and what is there, Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering can be forced in the driver.

For the DLC, if you have the game in Steam and linked to Origin it should show up your Origin library, and than you should be able to add the DLCs under "Extra Content".

Or you can use the manual installation as you mentioned.

I see what happened.  I uninstalled with steam after xferring the key to Origin.   My install is in the steam folders still.  Origin's installer still created the directories but they are majoritativly empty.  Game appears on Origin's client, not steam but is installed in steam's folders.   

Steam ruined gaming form what it was before.

May Gabe and EA's Board of Directors rot in the sun till their flesh melts.
