Check whether you're running 64-bit Windows 7, and if so, install the 64-bit version of TortoiseSVN.

Are you sure that you are running the 32-bit OS and not 64-bit?

Make sure you right-click on a real folder. Library folders won't work
in the 1.6.x releases. If you want those to work too and get better
integration with Win7, you'll have to use a nightly build from trunk.

I have installed a 32bit version of Win7 and a 64 bit version of Win7
on two different laptops.
In each one I installed the latest Tortoise SVN (version 1.6.6).
I do not see the "SVN Checkout" when right clicking on a a regular
folder.
On the 64 bit machine I subsequently installed both 32 and 64,
rebooted, etc. Still no luck. So I am not able to use Tortoise/SVN at
all.

64 bit version of Win7 on two different laptops (Win7 Pro).
In each one I installed the latest Tortoise SVN (version 1.6.6) for
that machine.
I do not see the "SVN Checkout" when right clicking on a a regular
folder on either laptop.
On the 64 bit machine I subsequently installed both 32 and 64,
rebooted, etc. Still no luck.

Try a real folder from a drive, *not* from below a library folder.
If you want the library folders to work too, you have to use a nightly
build from trunk.

Right Clicking on a real folder from a drive e.g. c:\\Data does show
the the "SVN Checkout" item.
The lack of the context menu is both on a 32 bit Win7 laptop and the
64 bit laptop.

Find out which 'security' app you've installed on both of those machines
too and get rid of it.
There are a lot of users using TSVN on Win7 without any problems. So
there must be something on your machines that prevents TSVN from
working. Get rid of that, and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the help Stefan; I appreciate the time you take to answer
the questions.
You are right about the security app. I am using Eset/Nod32 for virus
protection. I turned it off temporarily and now I get the context
menu. Hope this helps others with the same problem.
Many thanks

A piece of advice: get rid of that app completely.

I use it because it appears to be lightweight on CPU resources. Why do
you recommend getting rid of it? Also, is there a recommendation to
replace it with?

Why does he recommend getting rid of it? For precisely the reason you
observed - it interferes with legitimate programs!
BTW, others *have* had this happen before, you'll find hits in the
mailing list archives on it.
Symantec (corporate) AV hasn't been too offensive to me, but avoid
their "home" type products at all costs.

FWIW, I run with Avira AV, personal edition (free). It appears to work
well, and interferes with NOTHING for me.

I run Avast! free edition at home and have no problems with it.
