_stdcall and _cdecl are identical and are the default for C and C++ functions. Therefore is never a reason to use _stdcall or _cdecl in C and C++ programs. Using Microsoft compilers that is. What compiler are you using?
I don't know why its not working for you. Are you sure you have the correct prototype? Do you have the source code for the function so that you can verify -- but you probably already did that.

_cdecl and _stdcall has some difference, I think you are calling the function from the library written using different calling convention than the one you are using. Its basically a name decoration issue, not resolved by linkers.
In VC++ 6.0 _cdecl is the default calling convention.
_cdecl In this type convention the caller is responsible for cleaning up the stack.
_stdcall In this type of convention the callee is responsible for cleaning up the stack.
