I recommend TuneUp Utilities 2008 for that stuff. Works great in keeping your computer tidy.
For a quick fix, trx Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Cleanup

be sure to backup your save game files.

When you did a reinstall, did you COMPLETELY remove it (including the profiles, save game)?

What's you computer specs? What OS (I'm assuming WinXP)?

That's not at all what he meant by clearing cache. The BGII install folder (usually C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SOA or something like that) has a cache folder which stores the last few areas you've been to. BGII pulls from that cache first to load things (it's primarily useful if you're running with less than a full install). It's entirely possible that the file in that cache folder became corrupted and that is the problem. To clear your cache, delete everything in that cache folder.

As a note, the error you're getting is very often related to a corrupted save game. If clearing the cache doesn't work (it may), try loading the most recent save previous to the one you're trying to load.
