32bit version of photoshop cs4 is working fine.

What's happening? why i can't use 64bit version of ps?

We're still looking into some crashes involving third party fonts that seem to occur on 64 bit only. Generally the problem comes down to 1 or 2 fonts.

Could you write what are those fonts exactly so i can delete them. Then 64bit version should work fine as i understand?

Were that it was so easy. Adobe makes over 1000 fonts. They know that those will not cause a problem. They can provide you with a list of those. There are another 900,000 fonts (I guess) in the world, and more being made every hour. Adobe does not track those, but knows that a small percent of them are defective, and can cause the problems Chris mentions.

The trick is to find which font is bad. I only use the Adobe fonts, so I never have had a problem. The people who search out free fonts through the web are generally those that get the diseased fonts.

The solution is to remove all fonts other than those from Adobe, Microsoft, and other reputable makers. Test if the problem goes away. If it does, then there is a bad font (or several) in the fonts you deleted. Add fonts back slowly, never more than a few dozen at a time, and test with PS after each addition. When it breaks, you know a bad font was in the last group of fonts added.

This will take a bit of time, but hey, they are free fonts.

I suppose a "Check Font Integrity" function in PS is too much to ask.
