You need to manually delete the IWD files (back up the Saves if you want). Then run a registry cleaner like CCleaner ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download ) to remove the orphaned IWD Registry entries (CCleaner is free). Now re-install the game. Re-introduce your Saves and you should be good to go. You'll also need to re-install any mods you may have been using.

Disclaimer: Registry cleaners can possibly mess up your PC. I have never had a problem with CCleaner, but YMMV. Cleaning the Registry is only neccessary if you are getting a "Icewind Dale is already installed" error when trying to install it.
