There was a change in the working directory structure between Subversion 1.7 and Subversion 1.8. It doesn't affect the repository, but it does affect using TortoiseSVN.

You may have to upgrade your working directory to get it to work. I don't know if you can do that in TortoiseSVN or not. Check the context menu for something that says SVN Upgrade working copy, or something similar.

If you can't find it, you can run it from the command line if you installed the command line client when you installed TortoiseSVN (it's an option):

C:\> svn upgrade

Once you've upgraded your working copy, you should be able to use your working directories again. Also please let us know the exact error message you're getting, and a bit more about your setup.

Also, go into the Uninstall Program control panel in Windows and make sure you don't have multiple copies of Subversion clients installed.
