This smacks of a firewall - You'd need to open the svnserve port to
allow it.  Windows firewall would block this by default for example.

Dan: @Purple Streak - I just tried what you said about the command prompt.  I can happily say that i was, in fact, able to start the svnserve.exe from there for the first time. Ever.  Thank you for that.  The net start svn worked, as well.  However, After that, I am still unable to get in from another computer. 

Could the problem be Tortoise on the other computer?  Could tortoise need to be reinstalled on it?  Multiple computers have been accessing the repository before the power out, and now none can get in.  Do they, also, need to be reinstalled?
