Sorry for late answer, i did all you asked me to do but same results.
No problem, whenever you have time.
Do the flowing steps in the direction I wrote them. If one suggestion don't works go to the next one:
Close Origin > disable your internet connection. (pull the plug or disable the network adapter in the Windows device Manager.)
Disable the real time scanner of your antivirus software. (you use only one antivirus software, right?)
Start Origin, logon to Origin (also necessary in offline mode) > Start ME2
Run the "MassEffect2.exe" and the ME2Game.exe under "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" as Administrator > test.
Run the "MassEffect2.exe" and the ME2Game.exe in Windows 7 compatibility mode > test
Disable the Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Go to your "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\directx\redist" folder and delete all files wit a *.cab file extension.
Then run the "DXSETUP.exe" as Administrator > reboot > test.
Go to your "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\physx\redist" folder and run the "PhysX-9.12.0613-SystemSoftware.msi" > repair > reboot > test.
Go to your "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\vc\vc2005\redist" folder and run the "vcredist_x86.exe" as Administrator > reboot > test.
close Origin completely.
Go to your "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder and delete the "MassEffect2.exe" the "ME2Game.exe" and the "core" folder
Go to your "F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2" folder and delete the "data" folder.
Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" folder and delete the "Binaries" the "BIOGame" and the "Save" folders.
Start Origin as Administrator > In the Game Library at ME2 click "download" (it will only download a few files). > test.
If that still don't helps, rename the executables again.
- Rename "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"
- Rename "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe" > restart Origin > test.
You said you reinstalled ME2 several times, did you tried to install it to your C drive?
Ok, ima do that now. It was originally on partition C (SSD Drive), tried on both HDD-s. Yes i reinstalled it many times, repaired, all sorts of things that came to my mind. Rename thing only targets Origin to start MEgame , on Windows 7 you have to rename that file if you wanna start game in origin, otherwise it won't start. Coming back in couple minutes, gonna try you'r advice.
I tried all these things that you wrote, but ima try again 🙂
