Tried everything yesterday:
No special characters in the user name
Admin Rights
Unicode
Controlled folder Access
No Anti-Virus
Up-to-date Drivers
Several reinstalls of origin and EA Desktop
Alternative Launcher
Launcher starts normal but every game starts with a black screen before flickering and crashing back to the launcher. No error messages or event logs.
ME 1 worked fine yesterday morning, now it no longer does and behaves like the rest. At first the splash screens came up, but they no longer do after trying out serval of the suggested methods.
I also attached a DxDiag
Sounds similar to my own recent issue. I also tried everything and, for me, what ended up working was to delete my old ME1 save folder and then restart. ME1 not only loads much faster now but it (so far) seems to work for me. I can't think of any rational reason this works except that when I first ran it, I had not yet updated some drivers and libraries. The updates may have fixed the issues but created save files and profiles that were buggy.
In my case I could run ME2 but not ME1. Now I can run both.
