Did you try with [thread::interrupt()](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.interrupt)? – Adriano Repetti Oct 15 '12 at 10:45

Always terminate threads cooperatively. Trying to forcefully abort a thread is dangerous in C++. – Branko Dimitrijevic Oct 15 '12 at 10:45

Please, read the answer to the following question.
If nevertheless you must terminate thread on Windows, you can do that like this: TerminateThread(yourThread.native_handle());
