Also when removing games you can't simply delete them from Steam. Doing so will erase some files—especially settings—which might cause issues.

I faced a similar issue with GTA 4 and it resolved after following those steps. If you need more details, just let me know—I'm available on Skype or this thread.
Save the current hud text and use it when creating a new config file after reinstalling the game. If needed, clear the existing config and test the game again. After that, you can update the new config with the Hud settings.
