Ha, ha - no, you're not a dummy. If the "Delay" slider is set far to the right, the cycling of AutoLights can take a very long time. I don't use it myself, but sometimes when I see it in stores I wonder if it's ever going to change.

There actually are some inherent differences between the normal and the old Plus Pack versions. The normal one has always used DirectX 6, for maximum compatibility, while I wrote the Plus Pack version in DirectX 8, because Microsoft insisted on it. A couple of differences: The tiny Preview window in Display Properties is "live" in the DX8 version. The DX6 version works with 3D shutter glasses, while MS removed support for this in DX8. (Rumor has it that it's back in DX9).
