Hello,

I've installed Windows Business onto a partition of 115 GB. I'm currently attempting to run a game "Mass Effect" for the PC and all reqs are met for the game.

I'll start the game and then I get a message saying "Mass Effect has stopped working"

Is this a PC problem or like a firewall problem or something? Thanks

Unibrow

I see where the game was just released for the PC on May 28th. You didn't waste any time getting it. :Smirk: Since it was just released, it may have some bugs??? Anyway....

Pretty hefty requirements to run "Mass Effect" according to their website. If you're positive that your system meets or exceeds those requirements (pay special attention to the graphics and recommended CPU) then perhaps you might try to uninstall the game and re-install.

Since you didn't mention what machine you're using, MacBook, MBP, iMac, etc, I can't advise you on what to do about drivers. However, you might want to check and be sure you have the latest drivers installed for graphics. The Leopard DVD has drivers but in most cases they are not the latest especially for graphics. Remember, the game requires accelerated 3D graphics.

Regards.
