Hi Francisco,
I would like to verify my understanding of the issue in your description. When you say crash, you mean the CCS GUI becomes unresponsive. The GUI is still displayed, but you cannot do anything. You cannot close it by clicking the "x". Your only option is to kill the ccstudio.exe process from the Windows task manager. Even after killing the CCS process and restarting CCS, you cannot open the same workspace you were using. CCS says the workspace is in use.
Is this description correct?

AndyW,
Yes, I agree with your description. Everything you said is correct, the only thing different is when I kill the process in task manager, the unresponsive CCS GUI window closes, but the ccsstudio.exe continue working in the process list, no matter how many times I try to close this process. Then the only way is rebooting the machine to remove this process.
One important issue I'd forget to mention, is that I'm using a Macbook with a VM (Virtual Machine, Parallels v9) to execute the Windows XP.
It's quite complicated to describe this crash, every time i reboot the Windows to kill the CCS process makes the shutdown WindowsXP procedure unresponsive, needing to "force quit" the VM. After that, the VM cannot reopen the XP (informing problems on initialization of XP), unless rebooting the notebook OS (OS X Mavericks(10.9)). After rebooting, everything turns back to work normally.
Regards,
Francisco
