Please update to version 1.2.2.

There's a little bug in 1.2.1 which would change the color depth when
changing the overlays. This was done to force the icon cache to rebuild
(it's even documented that you can do it that way). The problem is that
with some display drivers, this doesn't work because they just don't
like it if you change the color depth back and forth again within a
second. So I removed that code in 1.2.2 (but that means if you change
the overlays, you must restart the explorer for the changes to take effect).

Try changing the color depth to 8 bit and then back to true color. Just
wait a few seconds in between so the display driver doesn't get mad at you.

I hope that changing the colors to 8 bits (maybe changing the screen
resolution too?) and back will fix it, otherwise I don't know what else
to do.
About the wrong overlay: The shell extension now first checks how many
other overlay handlers are installed in the system. If there aren't
enough overlay handler slots left, TSVN will only register a few to
leave the other slots to the other applications. That means that the
'added' overlay will have to go and the 'modified' is shown instead.
Do you also have TortoiseCVS installed? If yes, then you definitely
don't have enough overlay slots left and TSVN behaves nices (TCVS
doesn't - it just uses all slots and most of the time doesn't leave
enough for TSVN anyway).
