Mass Effect 2 problem

Hi, so I bought a standard disc copy of Mass Effect 2 for PC on Amazon. I did not buy it from origin. So I installed the game as normal and everything was fine. I then installed all the various dlc I had bought for the game a while ago. My first problem arose when I launched the game. It ran fine but when it came to the part saying you must enter your code to activate cerberus network was when things went wrong. I clicked continue and then it said please wait and so I waited. I could still move the mouse cursor about so I assumed that the game was just taking its time. I went downstairs and had dinner. Half an hour later I came back up and it was still on the same screen saying please wait. I assumed it was something to do with the Dlc being unregistered with this new copy or something. So I exited the game and deleted the dlc files. I ran the game again but the same thing happened. I waited about 10 minutes that time. I then thought maybe I should uninstall and reinstall the game. So I did I uninstalled it in the normal way. Now I tried to get on to the auto run where you can install the game, it has a picture of Thane Crios on it. However when I clicked, from my computer, on the mass effect 2 icon it simply says. The following file could not be found Masseffect2launcer exe. . I dont care about the long loading screen anymore, I just want to be able to install my game.
If this problem can't be fixed here could someone please notify me of a place that could fix it.

  • You could register the product key in the Origin client and just download the digital copy of the game. This may bypass the issues you're having.

    Thanks I fixed the problem of installation. Now I cant access the DLC as Cerberus Network keeps timing out. If you could give me a solution for that id really appreciate it. Im running the game on windows 8 and have DLC downloaded from Bioware social. It installs fine now I just need to be able to log in to EA servers in game. This is where it simply says the server times out.

This is where it simply says the server times out. The DLC is registered with my game as it says when I launch the game that the DLC I have installed cannot be authorized. Im assuming this is because I cant connect with the servers.
