LightFX SDK and Vista

I'm able to install the LightFX SDK 1.0.3 successfully on my M1710. However, the EffectBuilder application (and any attempt to use the API) does not seem to change the light settings. I do not get any errors; it just seems to have no effect.

 

I have the Dell QuickSet for Vista (7.2.13) installed and I'm able to successfully change the colors of the lights via the QuickSet. Am I missing something obvious/silly/etc.? I'd love to be able to add some light effects to a home-grown application.

 

Thanks!
