Hi!

My suggestion is that the following were checked:

   - The proper header (.H) file is #included
   - The header file declares the function as _cdecl or _pascal
      (in the case of standard C libraries, it probably should be
      _cdecl).  The explicit calling convention declaration is the
      important thing, not that which it is.

All Windows programs are compiled with _pascal calling convention.  If
the compiler lacks the declaration info, it will default to using _pascal
even if the function expects using _cdecl (as the standard C libraries in
most cases do).
