The TortoiseSVN menu is invisible!

There are a number of known problems with disappearing menus, which are due to the Windows Explorer, not TSVN.

  • If you select a folder in the left pane of explorer, then use the File menu to access TSVN, the menu text and icons are invisible the second time you use the File menu. If you select another folder, the menu is restored. This happens under Windows 98, ME, NT and 2000. Everything works fine under XP.
  • Under Windows NT 4, the context menu text and icons for TSVN sometimes disappear. This can happen anywhere in explorer.

You can also get problems with invisible TortoiseSVN menus in other applications. Check our FAQ article on Blank TortoiseSVN Menus for further details.
