"reinstalling" can only fix something, if you fucked up the installed game manually, that is, on purpose.
If you just messed with your game settings, simply rename saved.cfg (and, in case of graphics problems, init.cfg). If that doesn't help, you can rename them back. You should check the file timestamps, to make sure, you are renaming the right files (should be date and time from when you last quit the game).
Btw, "reinstalling" does not touch the game settings, so, if you just broke some keybinds, you can reinstall fifty times without fixing anything, whereas a simple "Reset keybinds" from the menu would fix everything.
