Hi Andy, As far as I know there shouldn't be anything to worry about. That message comes up even if you do one change in my experience. The warning must come up to remind you you've made changes, in case the changes you've made have caused a problem. I always check the box saying don't show this again or launch the utility on startup. Unless you're experiencing some problems since you made the changes it should be fine.
