Hope this helps : P

This is a common issue that Bioware is now looking into. You can run the game from the exe in the binary folder, but it will have some major problems.

Thank you for trying to help Samarium. I gave Fallen remote access and he was able to find the problem. It seems that this is a know problem with Phenom chip sets as well as with some others. He had to get to the accessible files and create a shortcut to my desktop. Runs great now. Also thanks for the compliment. I borrowed Mas Effect 2 from a friend and it was enough to tell me that I wanted to get one so that I could follow the story line before I got any further into 2. Came at the right time as I just finished Dead Space last night. I will check out the forums later, right now I want to game.
