Looking at your routing instructions I suspect the program is having trouble with the bottleneck in the Caribbean. If the 3 oil from Venezuela go to Canada and the Canadian oil is saved in Canada then the 5 Canadian resources go through the East Coast but no more can be sent, even though there are 6 CPs there. (Sorry if this was more optimal when you first saved it, but I can only go by what I see on the form and what the CP counts are for the sea zones.)
You are setup to use the Trinidad oil but it is idle. If you try to use it, the program will try to send it through the Caribbean so you have to set up a default route for it through the Mouths of the Amazon and then north along the coast of Africa. To make use of all the CPs I recommend sending 1 Venezuelan oil further north via the East Coast and Faroes to be stored in the UK. (You only need 14 resources or oil to get to the UK for max production but extra oil there is always good. And it's easy to convert that instruction to produce rather than save when your production multiplier goes up in 1940.)
All the Venezuelan oil, and Canadian resources should be set as defaults with a default route through the Faroes (5 resources and one oil). I know you said you set those, but I'm not sure you set them all as all the Canadian resources are not showing in green font. Locking in all these routes as defaults should help prevent the progam from hijacking them.
Truthfully, setting routes is very 'iffey' functionally. It would be nice if it were more cooperative. It is really time consuming to start with but then you can leave it alone in future turns unless something changes.
Did you know CW oil in CW minors can be stored in a port or city in that minor? That could save you CPs, FREX Burma and Port of Spain. Then as long as there's a supply link you make them first choice to use for the Use Oil phase.
