I found a solution to it (it worked for me).
In binaries directory:
Rename MassEffect2.exe as MassEffect2Launcher.exe
Rename ME2Game.exe as MassEffect2.exe
Now It Works fine and it can import Mass Effect 1 saves.
Hope work for everyone.

I've been trying for hours to get this game to start and I have no idea why your solution works but thank you so much.

Apologies for the inconvenience, please let me know how this works for you.
Puh!!!
I finaly found something that worked for me, and I have tested all you suggestion that is stated before in this forum see this page
http://www.masseffectsaves.com/import.php
For the long version.
Her the short one, and it is a copy and paste, (the folder may difer because of vesion of Windows you use):
"Some people are having have trouble running the config utility, ie. it always crashes. There's a work around which
duplicates the copy function, Check out copy/paste job:
If the ME1 save doesn't appear, relax, its just in another folder that ME2 can't see.
Here are the steps
1) Go to Documents > Bioware > Mass Effect (Note: ME1) > Save
2) Now you will see 2 kinds of files
One Like this : Jane01_02
And like this: Char_01-36-3-1-5-25-1-2010-10-24
(Its different for everyone, but as long as it has "Char_" that is the file) "
Note!!!
The last sentece that save gamed need to start witn "Char_", that was my finaly solution!
So I renamed a saved game file so it begin with Char_

My game from what i've read has a similar problem in that i double click that ME2 ikon and nothing happens. looking at the processes it comes up for a split second and dissappears. The main difference being that i've play 17 hours of ME2 when it decided to do this. Any thoughts? is this the same problem, do I need to trudge through all these solutions or is it something else? If I try these solutions how safe are my saved game? Do I need to backup my saved game or is my saved game part of the problem in which case its lost anyway?
This solution didn't work for me because my binary folder was empty. Is there any other solution for getting ME2 to start?
If your "Binaries" folder is empty the game is not properly installed.
How is the exact path to the "Binaries" folder?
Can you repair the game? (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair)
