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.
I second his recommendation of CCleaner. It is the one I use both at work and at home.
