PLEASE HELP!

When I load a datafile within my program, it goes fine, but when I try
to access data out of it, it gives me Warning : Ansi C++ forbids
implicit conversion from 'Void *' in argument passing.  This warning
appears on every line I try to access some BMP or a midi file in the
example below.  I checked my header file created with grabber and it's
fine, so where is the problem below (Please, if you can help,can you
just rewrite the whole code if possible?)

/**************************************************/
DATAFILE *datafile;
datafile = load_datafile("qfpc.dat");
 if (!datafile)
    {
    allegro_exit();
    printf("Error loading qfpc.dat!\n\n");
    return 1;
    }
MIDI * the_music = datafile[Main].dat;
//On line before, Warning: Ansi C++ forbids implicit conversion from
'Void *' in initialisation.
play_midi(the_music, TRUE);
/* BLA BLA BLA*/
/**************************************************/
void show_centered_bmp(char filename[20],int y)
     {
     BITMAP* bmp;
     PALETTE pal;
     bmp = load_bmp(filename,pal);
     masked_blit(bmp,screen,0,0,(SCREEN_W-bmp->w)/2,y,bmp->w,bmp->h);
     destroy_bitmap(bmp);
     }
show_centered_bmp(datafile[Title_Main].dat,100);
//On line before, Warning: Ansi C++ forbids implicit conversion from
'Void *' in arguments passing.
/**************************************************/
