* did you reboot after upgrading?
* is your working copy on a network share? If yes, the overlays won't
update properly for some shares - only default windows shares seem to work
* check the registry entries under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
  only 9 entries from TortoiseSVN should be listed there
(xTortoise<Status>) - if you have more entries from TSVN, delete them
and do a fresh install
* You might have to hit F5 in explorer to refresh the overlays
