That works when you type the 164 on the numeric keypad, not the top
row of keys. Laptops generally have a numeric keypad superimposed on
the normal keypad, and you toggle the keyboard by hitting Fn+Numeric
(or something like that).

You might be better off bringing up the Character map (All
Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Character Map - I'm at an XP
computer, so I may a bit off on the location), find the ñ character
there, and copy and paste.
