"Will not boot" is a little vague... what does it do?

Regardless, you should realize that being a shell extension
is really just a .dll file that explorer loads. Nothing
all that special. And explorer doesn't start until a
user logs on-- so there is pretty much 0 chance that
TortoiseSVN is making you system unbootable.

In fact, I would be surprised if you could duplicate
it. I have to suspect something went wrong with
the full disk encryption process and corrupted the
volume, coincidental to installing TSVN.

If you can reproduce it, I'd contact the PGP
folk...

Thanks,

Joseph
