Your user account is an Administrator account?
You only have one copy of the games installed? (For example, not an Origin and a Steam installation to the same time)
This sounds like a permissions or Registry problem.
Press the Windows key and "X" at the same time > Click on "Command prompt (Administrator)" or "PowerShell (Administrator)"

In the CMD or PowerShell window, at the prompt type or copy: takeown /F "xxxxxxxxxxxx" (With the quotes. Replace the X with the full path to the ME2 folder, C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect2) > hit "ENTER"
- Reboot > Test.
If this don't works, create a new Windows user account > reboot > log in to the new account > test.

I must be entering something wrong. It keeps giving me error messages or saying the format is incorrect. Screenshot below:

Copy and past the line beneath: (Copy normal, then right click into the command prompt window, that will past the line)
takeown /F "C:\Users\Nathan\Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect2"
If that don't works, is your "Documents" folder on your C: dive?

I copied and pasted that line, and it said: ERROR: the system cannot find the file specified. Documents is on the C drive near as I can tell, but there is a public and individual user locations. I don't know if that matters or not.
