We had to learn those codes for a German class, ugh. I find that I can
type "áíóúñ" using the "NumLk" key on my Vista Dell laptop and left Alt+160,
161, etc. Alt+225 is "ß". My German teacher would be proud! It looks to
me as if there is nothing wrong with Vista in this respect, but a problem
with either your laptop or with your numeric keypad. Both long codes and
short codes too work on my Dell.
