Game completely stuck in third person

I need your help.

Yesterday, shortly after I finished the quest Brelyna's Practice, my game got stuck in third person. I couldn't zoom in using f anymore, and I could scroll in and out anymore.
I tried several things to get rid of it, none worked. I tried:
  • Loading an old save
  • Starting a new game
  • disabling all mods
  • disabling all mods and starting a new game
  • verifying the game cache
  • reinstalling the game
  • deleting the .ini's and letting the game regenerate them
None of those worked. I'm desperate. I really need your help. I have actually no idea what could cause this. It has to be something external I'd say because the problem persists even after reinstalling the game.

~EnablePlayerControls should do it.

No, sadly it didn't. I'm so confused, how does a problem even persist after completely reinstalling the game?

Update: I removed every mod, uninstalled the game and reinstalled it as clean as possible again. It still doesn't work. What the hell?

Update 2: I solved it. I reinstalled DirectX by running the setup file in /skyrim/DirectX10, then I loaded a relatively old save file from long before the issue. Problem solved. New saves work now, too. :D
