Did you install to the same place as last time? If not, part of the game may still be looking in the wrong place. baldur.ini contains some paths, try makng sure those are correct. Otherwise, install the ToB patch, and uninstall and reinstall the entire game from scratch.
No, I installed to a different drive -- space concerns was the whole reason for the reinstall.

I haven't installed ToB yet. I was just trying to get SoA installed an operating before moving on, so as not to compound my problems. Why would Baldur.ini be looking elsewhere on my machine? I cleaned out my registry entries and such, in order to get it to allow me to install.

I can re-install. I have SoA installed, no patch, no baldurdash. Should I use the uninstall utility and begin again, or should I first patch and then uninstall?

I'll check baldur.ini and see what I find. Couldn't I just copy the data file from elsewhere? I mean, if this "BIF" file is not one that's overwritten by mods, I can go retrieve it from my old "second install" (on an external drive -- I just copied the folders and then moded the game).
