I was using tortoise svn 32 bits in XP without problems.
Now, I installed Windows Vista 64 bits and Tortoise SVN 64 bits.
When I try to do an SVN Update, I got the error
Can´t open file C:....svn\lock: Access denied.
Any ideas?

As soon as you start editing a file, the status changes to modified and the icon overlay then changes to a red exclamation mark. That way you can easily see which files were changed since you last updated your working copy and need to be committed.
Locate TortoiseSVN and click on it. Select "Change" from the options available. Refer to this image for further steps. After completion of the command line client tools, open a command prompt and type svn help to check the successful install.
Since you've reinstalled Windows, it may be that the access rights for your folder(s) are configured wrong, so that an unknown SID is the owner or has read/write permission but not your user account.
Maybe check the file permissions of your local SVN files and make sure that your current user/your TortoiseSVN process has the neccessary access rights to change these files.

In my case problematic file was locked by Visual Studio, so I could not either update or clean working copy. Closing VS solved the issue. You can use Unlocker or similar to see if anything is locking your files.
