Unable to install ANY Windows apps using CrossOver!!!

Hello All,
I'm using a 2010 MacPro with OSX 10.8.5. I would really like to be able to run Metatrader 4 and not have to use either Parallels or VM Fusion. So I decided to give Crossover a try. I downloaded the latest version (13) and was happy to see Metatrader is a supported Windows app. However every time I try to create a bottle of this, or ANY other app in the supplied list, Crossover just hangs. I went into the Activity Monitor and could see multiple 'Wineloader' processes going on using up %100 of the CPU. And to be able to get Crossover to even get to the point where I can hit 'Proceed' to create a bottle, I have to keep 'quitting' a process called 'Cxdiag' (also using Activity Monitor). So then at the point that I can finally hit 'Proceed', whatever app I'm trying to create usually stalls about a quarter of the way in the progress bar. At this point I just have to 'Force quit' Crossover to get out.
This seems like such a useful application for us Mac users, and a lot of people are enjoying using it, yet for me there seems to be something interfering with the process. Hopefully it is a simple fix which I hope someone can help me out with! ;)
BTW, I also tried an app called "PlayOnMac" which is basically a type of free version of Crossover, but it also hangs when I try to install any kind of Windows program. I have included a portion of my Console messages, if that helps.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
