    I finally solved it as follows

    I downloaded both patches.

    Started Origin in Admin mode.

    Tried to install the pathes and got the error "cannot find Mass effect"

    Tried to run Mass effect in Origin as administrator and got nowhere.

    Restarted my PC in desperation.

    Ran Origin in administrator mode.

    And then Mass effect launched.

    Hope this helps someone outthere who is dying of frustration.

Hi

I noticed that people were having similar problems.

I have since then downloaded both patches "Mass effect_EFIGS 1.01" and "Mass effect_EFIGS 1.02a" from http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/pc/updates/index.html

However now it does the other thing where my PC says - Can't find mass effect.

I have opened Origin as Administrator and tried running them again.

However it still responds by saying it can't find mass effect.

Any ideas on how I can solve this?
