Make sure the appropriate keyboard layout (input language) has been activated in Windows.

Are we aiming for É? for occasional accented characters, I'm a fan of the Windows Character map: pick a character directly if it's a one off, or make a note of the Alt+ code if it's one you might need more often. (alt + 0201 for É, by the way, and remember to use the numeric keypad)
