Result "Error" while Vista is shutting down

I'm using Windows Vista and every time I'm restarting my notebook the Boinc program says to WCG that the Result has an Error (under Resault Status).
And after starting my notebook boinc needs two new WU's from WCG.
I read something about in another thread, that Vista is to quick for Boinc to stop the WU's without an error.
I also read that in version 5.9.12 the problem will be fixed.
But 5.9.12 is an Alpha version or an Beta version and nothing for a new Notebook an Vista ...

Is there any other chance to fix the problem?

Re: Result "Error" while Vista is shutting down

Yes, Vista shuts down very quickly and could cause the error. Unless someone can point you to a better solution, I'd recommend just exiting the BOINC manager before shutting your laptop down.

Re: Result "Error" while Vista is shutting down

Yes, thats one solution. I forgot it two times, an I have core 2 processor. That's the reason why I have 4 Errors results in under Result Status.
That's it why I want to know: Is there another solution?

But thanks for help ;).

Re: Result "Error" while Vista is shutting down

Oh, tanks for help.
Number 5 is the same problem.
They say:
Or:
Copy the following text and paste it into the Notepad window, called WaitToKill.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="20000"

Where can I find WaitToKill.reg?
