Running Steam Game

Hey,

I bought Mass Effect on Steam and it finished downloading. Now when I try to launch it, I get this error message. What is wrong? How do I launch it?

-Thanks

If you have Vista, you need to launch it by a shortcut on the desktop or toolbar.

Thanks, I click the shorcut though, and that error message pops up and then it says Mass Effect is not working and it looks for a solution but fails.

-Thanks

right click Mass Effect on Steam > properites > local files > view integrity of in-game cache

If nothing else works contact Steam for Help.

Wierd, I've never seen this problem before and I own a ton of Steam games.

Hope you get it workign soon. Try looking around the steam forum for help.

..or he could read the instructions right on steam product page for mass effect where it tells you how to avoid the error.... in big orange letters at the top of the page...

Hey,

Thanks for the help. I looked at the directions on the Steam page. I took user account control off, restarted my PC, then I opened Mass Effect and it did whatever it did to finalize it. I then put the user account control back on, restarted once more, and now it works.

-Thanks
