I have the same problem:
"Overview AutoConfig Failed" then "Drones Folder AutoConfig failed."
Running in window (1920 x 1000)
Widescreen on, dither off.
Font set to 10 dpi.
Colour settings correct.
Windows not pinned
Asteriod selected.
Drones in space open.
Layout almost identical to the screenshot shown in the PDF.
Occasionally autoconfig works. Generally it doesn't.
Very frustrating.
Screenshot. Difficult to see but the Selected Target window is not pinned.
