sudo - scott929

You need root access to renice a process. Use "sudo renice 20 pid" and then type your password at the prompt.

Reniceing to 20 may cause it to be too jumpy you will probably have better luck with 18 or so (sudo renice 18 pid)

xBack priority: use "Renicer" (freeware) - m-bomb

Use "Renicer" (Freeware) if you don't want to deal with Terminal. It lists all processes and set the priority to anything you want. You still need your admin password of course. Remember that nice is a bit counterintuitive: -20 is the least "nice" to all other processes (maximum processor use), and 20 is the "nicest" to all other processes (i.e. the least processor use). "Renicer" is a really great thing to have around anyway. (You bad, bad Virtual PC, I'll show you what's what)
