try updating your display drivers ,btw i dont think you can play that game with onboard graphics do you know whats the graphics chip in your comp?

 

[NoName01]

this one has nvidia 8400m

 

[vijaysurendran]

try updating the display drivers to the latest one and if you have overclocked the graphics try to run the game on stock speed ....

well, apart from buying the game, and getting official support from bioware, don't think so.

although you can try searching the bioware forums, since a lot of vista users are experiencing random problems, good luck.

Game works fine on XP though.

yeah that's a saddest part of vista dude!!

my laptop is compatible only for vista..

i tried for xp but i aint got all drivers for that..

Well if its a original version, the game does some registry changes when it launches for the first time. So for the first time lauch the exe of the game in admin mode.

yeah neotheone.

my was simple problem, installation was fine for me.

But after installing the game,their was no shortcut icon for game on the desktop(i mean mass effect) so i was running directly through alcohol. i tried so many time.i didn't work it was giving error as i mentioned above. then after that i searched for the mass effect EXE file(in crogram file/masseffect/binaries/.

then i run as administrator. then it worked
