    @Kevo_B-WingAce  The typical path for Steam installs is:

    Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition [etc.]

    If you selected a custom install location, look there instead.  Wherever the game is located, its program files should be the same.  And the structure of the user files in Documents is the same as well.

@Kevo_B-WingAce  Please open this file path:

Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\BioGame

and move the Config folder to the desktop.  Then try to play ME2.

If that doesn't help, move your most recent ME2 save out of the Saves folder; it's stored here:

Doccuments\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME2\[character name and number]

You can also try moving the entire ME2 folder to the desktop to see whether it's possible to start a new save; you might then be able to move one of your current saves back and get it to load.

If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Hey sorry I guess I didn't specify like I thought I did, I have MELE on Steam, so my origin folder doesn't have the MELE files.  I tried looking for something in the Steam files similar to that but I cant find the saved games folder or the config folder for individual games.

      Thank you so much!!! I had to move the entire me2 folder out to get it to work but at least I can finally get me2 going again!  I haven’t had a chance to try and move old saves back in after starting a new separate game but I’ll be trying that soon. Itll kinda suck if I have to start me2 all over again when I was so close to finishing but that’s way better than not being able to play it again at all! Thank you very much for your help!
