just uninstalled tortoisecvs, reboot, install tortoisesvn, reboot.
Ah windows and rebooting ...
Now I am in the process of checking out the code from head, but already for more then 25 minutes I see in the svn panel that I am stuck on "LexRebol.cxx" from scintilla.
Time to kill it and try again, or is there some setting no ok ?
any ideas are welcome, hey I could even reboot ;-)
[edit]
after 45 minutes I got an error in the svn pane :
request failed ....
... could not read chunk
.. connection timed out ..
let's try again
