Mass Effect 2 won't start do to Nvidia Physx Error.

I bought the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Finished ME1 tired to fire up ME2 and I got the using hardware accelerated Physx has been requested, but the "drivers were out of date. I downloaded the proper driver" and I did that and nothing worked. So I did more research and found that this is a common issue that hasn't been fixed for nearly ten years. I actually found out about a legacy driver and installed that. It didn't fix the issue either. I contacted EA tech support about the issue and did a chat. They worked with me to trouble shoot. Spoke to three different people as I did a few restarts. Nothing works, still the same issue. I was finally told to post here so I'm doing that. I just want to play ME2 and 3 but this issue is preventing that because this issue was never fixed.

    I can run ME 1 and ME 3 from Origin with no issues. But ME2 click play and it never loads. I have over 50 hrs playing the game.it seems to sync the saved games... but not launch the game. and Origin says I have played less than 1 hr. I found I have to launch the game from the game location.... look for ME2Game.exe within the installed location. or just search for it. If this is a issue that has been happening for so long... Why has EA not fixed it? or at least say put this in the "Advanced Launched Options"Again ME 1 and ME 3 work great from Origin play screen.

    I know ME 2 is EOL And no support at  all. FIX IT EA. DO IT RIGHT OR NOT AT ALL.
