After the mod is working. Try the following to determine your preference.

Trouble Shooting: Game

If you are using a pre-steam, or non-steam retail version. Goto Origin and setup an account. You can add your game by cd key and it will register and run from there. Allowing you access to updates and add-ons available for the game.
After getting the updated version of the game and you have it working, re-apply the mod.
Migrating your EA Games.
The list is a little dated (3yrs) so it doesn't list more recent updates, but it's information is helpful. Disregard some of the old results, I was able to register my Mass Effect through Origin (although this list says it was rejected in their attempt). If you have any issues contact a rep to help add your game, it usually takes about 5 minutes.

Trouble Shooting: Mod

Install the DX9 final release if you haven't done so previously. DX9 Final Release June2010
DX install: Download and run the file, tell it to extract to c:\dx, then after goto c:\dx and run the dxsetup file.

Check to make sure you are using the newest graphics drivers.
Try disabling any turbo or overclocking software.

If you experience issues with the ENB D3D9 try this: CTD, Graphics issues.
Replace the d3d9.dll with one of the alternates provided.
Updated version contains altd3d9 folder with alternate ENB launchers included.

Nvidia users can also use this mod (Thanks to khalilsm) to allow the game to run if you have any issues.
Rename the ENB d3d9.dll that came with this mod to d3d9orig.dll and place the d3d9.dll from that mod with it in the game folder.
