Hello,

I recently bought Mass Effect for PC and I'm having trouble getting started. Upond loading the DVD disc for the first time, the game prompted me for installation. Half-way through the installation process, I was asked for the serial number. I provided the one that came with the game and it was accepted.

After a couple of hours, installation was complete, so I booted up the game. Now, in the opening window, instead of "install", the new "play" option appeared, and I clicked it. Some loading time, and a 'EA' message appeared asking me to connect my PC to the internet. I did so and clicked "play" again. Some loading time, and another 'EA' message appeared. This time, asking me for the registration number to verify if the game was a valid copy.

Where is this 'registration number'?? I tried giving the same serial key I provided during the installation, but it won't accept it.

I'm seriously considering downloading a KeyGen or crack to generate this key number that I need, but I wanted to get some advice/help here first.

Please, if anyone can give me a hand, I'll appreciate it very much! Thanks in advance!

should be in the back of the manual .... i think

Thanks, but the number I found in the back of the manual is the serial key i provided during the installation.

It is another code that I'm being asked. A 'registration number'
