Doing a ton of video editing/converting on Windows Movie Maker tonight. Got it running in the background while it encodes/merges videos together, etc.
So I went to the task manager to set WMM to high priority to help it along while I'm doing other stuff. I right clicked on the process and the drop down menu has "virtualization" checked. It is not set to disable desktop composition or run in XP mode and neither is anything else I am running at the moment.
What exactly does it do? Should I leave it checked or unchecked?
 
I'm not sure about the virtualization option, however, I do know that setting any task to high priority tends to nail your desktop depending on your PC, so check it carefully without it doing anything imortant, first.
