You've not posted details of your system, so I'm just supposing what could be wrong.
As you noticed, the whole VMS configuration is stored in a single INI-style file: C:\Windows\System32\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.conf or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\VirtualMIDISynth\VirtualMIDISynth.conf (it depends on the bitness of your OS). This file should be world-writable or, at least, user writable.
Since configurator run from setup works (setup must be run as Admin on Vista and newer), I suppose this is a permisison issue.
So the first thing to check is file permissions; you could also try to open it with Notepad (and your user) and try to change it (i.e. add an empty line at the end) then save.
This should work without errors, otherwise there could be something preventing the file being changed, like an antivirus/antimalware.
As a confirmation of my thought, try to run configurator as Admin (Right-click, run as Admin) and check if .conf file is updated.

VMS 1.* configuration changes are loaded at next synth restart, no need to restart the whole system.
To reload the driver you must close all MIDI clients using it (VanBasco, Game, ...) and look at VMS systray icon: when it disappears, the driver has been unloaded.
