Ratchild is correct, this is a registry problem. He forgot to mention that you *need* to take a backup before messing around in there, because one mistake can kill your machine dead.

ALso you should use the search option to find anything related to Icewind, Bioware, Black Isle. Remove all of them, cross your fingers, reboot and reinstall. Pray if you like, cant hurt anything. Registry editing is 50% magic and 50% luck anyhow.

Whats going to hurt you though is there was no need to unisntall HoW in the first place, you could have just imported your characters straight into a new game.

And although its irrelevant now, CLUA is the cheat console. Iy could have fixed your problem with a little work, but youd need to know your way around the IWD data files in order to get the neccesary codes. I could probably do it, but itd be faster and easier to restart the game from scratch.

Im on MSN if you need any quick advice. And if you can catch me logged on.
