[PC] only none of my mass effect games (1, 2 or 3) will launch

I have a similar issue, only none of my mass effect games (1, 2 or 3) will launch. They worked fine on my Wondows 10 (64) computer for years. I recently had to change the size of my hard drive where I keep my games (not C:) and had to reinstall these games.  Now when I click the play button, I get a brief black screen followed by minimizing of the game screen in the task bar and a small box of the EA screen. If I hover the mouse over the game icon box from the task bar, the actual game appears in a small window on the upper left of the computer screen, but I can't interact with it. No amount of clicking the game icon to try to get the program to continue and load works.

I have performed a clean install of my video drivers for my NVIDIA RTX3080 ti, to no avail.  I have tried different compatibility settings, to no avail.

Not sure what copying the folder to the desktop and running test on it does, or how to even run test, so I do not know if that will work for me.

My computer had the latest downloads from Microsoft and latest driver from NVIDIA.  I have tried running the games as administrator. Nothing works.

Please help!

    I moved your post into its own thread. 

    Are this Original trilogy games or the MELE? 

    Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
    Could you also provide a screenshot of the issue?
