    EDIT: I ran a DriveSweeper (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4266-driver-sweeper.html ) program to make sure that I deleted everything clean, rebooted, installed the PhysX from the Mass Effect 2 directory and FINALLY it works! 

    Hope it helps someone.

    I have the problem myself and having to install OLD drivers can't be called a solution. 

    A decent companie would fix something like this, even for an old game. They haven't even bothered to rewrite the error message. -.-

    "Please ensure you have an updated version of the Physx System Software installed." Yeah, I have, [Edit - Admin.]

      Surely the developer could patch this to work with more recent versions of PhysX ?

      It is not as if it is an uncommon problem by the number of threads flagging it up as a major problem!
