I am also having overlay problems. I am using Vista x64 and the overlays
tend to disappear after doing SVN related things for a short time. I'll
open the folder and they'll be there, I'll do some work in Office, come
back, and they're gone. The current version of TortoiseSVN was a clean
install w/o having installed it before.
