Anyway, you need msstdfmt.dll to be registered into windows for the system information map to display planet images correctly.
Download the dll from here : http://www.dlldump.com/zip/dllfiles/M/MSSTDFMT.zip thenextract the dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 , open a command prompt and enter the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\msstdfmt.dll
That should register the dll, but its possible you might need to be in administrator mode, alternatively download simple shutdown timer from here :http://www.pcwintech.com/simple-shutdown-timer .
Do not download it from jaleco.com which is actually virus (at least panda says it is).

I understand that minerals are randomized but I can't help but feel that gas giants should by default have some hefty amount of the stuff on them, especially in the starting system. Is there a way I can add it with the Space Master in unharvested form? All it allows me to do is add it to the planets inventory as a harvested item.
System view (The button that looks like a sun) get you to a screen that lets you specify minerals.
