PC Font Management, CS4 and Windows 7

I have a new PC.

Starting from scratch I had Windows Vista 64 installed as this was just before the Microsnot launch of Windows 7. I bought CS4 Design Premium and had this pre-loaded. I downloaded Extensis Font Fusion 2 and loaded that. After loading this I had issues with Illustrator crashing and also Indesign and Flash. Also Photoshop 64 pretty much wouldn't work at all. I removed Font Fusion2 and found the Adobe products were less flakey but still not solid. I then upgraded Windows to V7 64bit. This also improved matters though PS64 still wasn't 100% stable.I called extensis and they said that they had released a version that answered this issue, but since loading the latest version of Suitcase Fusion 2 Illustrator has become very much less stable and also PS64 is now unusable, which is a bit of a shag as I have paid to have 12 gB of ram in this machine which is only used by the 64bit apps.

I have called Adobe technical who were pretty unhelpful.

Has anyone found a good type manager for under £100 that actually works with Adobe CS4?

    If you're working on a stand-alone machine, why not trying to work without font management?

    I worked with suitcase 11,  and all went fine. (running on xp64).

    Since we're in a network, we opted for universal type server and client, both working well. I'm sure that on the web the're several free managers can be found
