No worries :) It looks like you haven't started a new thread though, so may I ask -- when you installed Mass Effect 2, did you perform an Express Install or a Custom Install?

Try reinstalling to the Express directory (C:\) instead of a custom location. That worked in this thread.

P.S. Also, I don't know if this is possible but can you try to change the name of this thread to say "Mass Effect 2 PhysX error" or something like that? Thanks..
