pgp full disk encryption and TortoiseSVN

Hi developers,

I have recently installed Subversion on one
of our corporate servers and intend
to use TortoiseSVN as the client for all of our users.

TortoiseSVN installed successfully and
the installer requested a reboot.

Most of the company computers, including this one,
have PGP Corp's full disk encryption.

Hell broke loose after this. The machine will not boot.
I don't know if it is a broken MBR, broken windows
system files (seeing that TortoiseSVN is a windows
shell extension), or other problem I may not be aware of.

After reinstalling the OS, I installed TortoiseSVN
first and encrypted after. This worked fine.
I am not sure if uninstalling TortoiseSVN at this point would
cause the same issues.

Is anyone aware of this problem?
Are there any known issues I should be aware of?
This is definitely not a TortoiseSVN specific
problem, but perhaps it has something to do with
it being a windows shell extension and PGP doesn't like that.

If any of you has seen this before or otherwise
could provide some insights or ideas, I would be very appreciated.

I am not sure if this message should be
sent to the users or developers list;
I do apologize if this is the wrong list.

Thanks for any help you could provide.

-Harold Gimenez
