The users config path is determined with a Windows API. If that API
tells that the config path is not available you get this error.
When this happens again, hit "Start", then "Run" (or hit the windows key
and R), then type %APPDATA% and hit enter.
The env variable %APPDATA% points to the user app data directory where
the user config data is stored. If that folder is not available (it may
be on a network share which isn't available anymore) then make sure it's
available again.
Also, in that folder there must be a folder named "Subversion" with a
file named "config" in there. That is created (it if doesn't exist yet)
every time an svn command is executed or a TSVN dialog is shown.

If it's not there, make sure that no other app is removing it.
