SVN - handshake failed : SSL error

I am unable to update or commit to svn from a machine that did not have this problem until recently. I updated the tortoise svn client. I can delete the folder and pull a new copy down every time but cannot commit or update.

Unable to connect to a repository at URL

OPTIONS SSL handshake failed: SSL error: sslv3 alert illegal parameter
