If you go to the Options->General page and turn on logging and then
restart NIM,
the error that prevented the identity provider from being loaded should
have been
entered in the log file.

Uninstalling KFW does not remove all of the registry entries.  If you
want to ensure a clean start remove the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MIT\NetIdMgr and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\MIT\NetIdMgr keys and all of the subkeys.  Note that doing
so will also remove the configuration data for any credential providers
from third parties such as OpenAFS or KCA.
