Passing a CRITICAL_SECTION Object to a Function

The relevent snippets of code are pasted below. The compiler gives this
warning:

warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'CRITICAL_SECTION
*__w64 ' to 'CRITICAL_SECTION *'

Why are these incompatible and how did __w64 get involved in this?

*** Code ***

void WritePacketUpdate(struct CRITICAL_SECTION *CritSec); // Prototype

struct TFimState
{ CRITICAL_SECTION CritSecCalc;
};

struct TFimState *f;
struct TFimState FimState[FimState_N];
f = FimState;

WritePacketUpdate( &f->CritSecCalc ); // Warning this line

Drop 'struct' from the function prototype.

CRITICAL_SECTION is a typedef.
