The Grim Pickle

I really hope someone can help me...
Recently I had some upgrades done to my PC, so I backed up my BG2 games, resintalled the game, reinstalled the patch, reinstalled the bonus vendors, my voices and portraits, and then reloaded my saved games. I've played the game several times since then, going from Chapters 5 to 6, and, if I recall right, everything seemed to be running fine.
Then an NPC began referring to my female protagonist as a male. I didn't think much of it, thought it was a glitch with that NPC. But the next day I opened the game with Shadowkeeper to add an item to my inventory, and I noticed that all of my characters' Proficiencies are gone (that tab is completely blank for each character, and it doesn't allow you to make changes to it), and all the fields on the Characteristics Tab, such as race, gender, kit, class, etc., are blank. When you try to Set Value to one of these fields, the drop down menues that used to be available for each field now just have one choice, "Unknown Value." (They used to list all the races, all the genders, etc.) For each field, there is a numerical value listed ("0x01" is now listed for Race), but the game doesn't seem to understand them. It will allow you to manually enter a new value (replacing 0x01 for example), but I don't know what the values should be, or why the drop-down menus are screwed up.
So no one in my game appears to have races, weapon proficiencies, gendres, classes, etc. I'm not sure how deeply this is affecting gameplay.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
