Any body with any more ideas??? this being a 3 yr old post hopefully somebody is still out there....ah I'll just do a new topic

I had this problem 30 min ago, read the tanker's post and fixed it
.
Do
not run the shortcut which is on your desktop (or
MassEffectLauncher.exe which is located in the installation folder) and you will not activate the configuration box (which, in my opinion, crashes the game) . Just run
MassEffect.exe (it is located in the Binaries folder).
It works on my PC (win7x64 proff) and laptop (win7x64 Home Basic).
Good luck
