afaik, i haven't moved any files - the problem just seems to have occurred
for no reason. looking through past posts on the bioware forums, its
happened before to a lot of people for no reason and no one seems to have
found a solution. the registry entry was still set to the correct folder.

it looks like i'm going to have to reinstall

You don't have to re-install it, I had this problem this morning all you need to do is run it from the folder where it is installed. Go into program Files and Atari there's a file called Neverwinternightsmain.exe or something like that. run it from this file or make a shortcut of that file for your desktop.
I don't know how long ago you posted it so this will probably be useless to you, but at-least you know now.
