[color:"orange"]1. my game version is and always has been 1.29[/color]
Is the saved game version listed in the load window as a version number and date? In the unlikely event the version number has become corrupt (has only happened once that I know of) there may be other random characters displayed.
Is there any reason you have not installed the
patch?

Have you used Windows Explorer at all for file management (organizing stuff, copying a resume to a floppy, etc)? Do you have any nerd/geek friends/relatives you can ask for help? It is a lot easier to show someone how to do something on a computer than it is to try to explain it. If not, you could check your local library for a book on computers (ie 'Windows for Dummies' or 'Learning Windows Visually', etc) which would have screenshots and detailed descriptions of file management, among other things.
If you run Windows Explorer (in XP it is listed on the Start menu under 'all programs | accessories', IIRC) and browse to the folder where you installed the game (enable the folder pane, if required, from the View menu, then expand the path to 'C:\Program Files\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic', select the dynamic folder in the folder pane, and then select all the files in the file pane and delete them.
[color:"orange"]4. dunno what u meant by zip or somehow back up the files[/color]
If you can get Windows Explorer going and browse to the game folder, you can copy the savegames folder to another location, or right click on it and (in Windows XP) select 'Send To | Compressed Folder'. Other version of Windows, or to get more features in XP, require a separate program (freeware
archive managers).
The uninstall program will ask you if you want to keep your saves, but a couple people accidentally clicked no, and there is always a chance of something going wrong, so it would be better to backup the saves first, just in case.
