Mass Effect 1 wont start

Just bought Mass Effect 1 from Origin on my new rig.

Every time I try to start it, just stops working. I can't even get to the title screen. Running the game with Admin privileges doesn't help. All of my drivers are up to date.

When I start the game, it takes me to the configuration utility. When I press play in the utility it goes to the ME logo, then my screen goes black for 2 seconds and a message pops up saying ME.exe stopped working.

My specs are:

• Windows 7 Ultimate
• AMD Phenom processor
• Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
• 8 gigs of ram
