Removing and reinstalling kicad does not remove any of your personal settings. For windows these settings are in appdata/roaming/kicad (or similar path).
The file responsible is kicad_common. Remove the offending variable using a text edtior. This should get kicad up and running again. (This is not a true solution only something that you can do to fix your problem right now.)
