When you'll get this error again, please, right click somewhere in the error dialog box with no text and use Copy stack trace to clipboard context menu item. Please, send stack trace to this report.

The text is
We are sorry for the inconvenience but an unexpected exception has been raised by one of the MySQL Workbench modules. In order to fix this issue we would kindly ask you to file a bug report. You can do that by pressing the [Report Bug] button below.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help us improve MySQL Workbench!

THIS I GET WHEN I WANT TO ADMINISTER A XAMPP MYSQL WITH FREESSHD INSTALED, THE SAME I GET ON LOCALHOST OPTION IF I SELECT.
WHAT IS CRAZY? AFTER THIS MESSAGE I GET "SET WINDOWS CONFIGURATION PARAMETER FOR THIS MACHINE"..., FOR MY FREESSHD ? BUT... THIS IS ALLREADY INSTALED ON MY XP MACHINE!!!

If I use Manage server Instances... this works, what i do not understand for what is "New Server Instance"...

This sounds like bug #59578, I'll mark this as duplicate. You can workaround either by creating a MySQL service for starting/stopping it or by using Manager Instances (as you've found out).
