#include <locale.h> and call setlocale to change the code page that is in 
effect. The default is 437. You can try 850 (Latin I), e.g.,

    setlocale(LC_ALL, "Spanish.850");
    // setlocale(LC_ALL, ".850") also works, but I don't know
    // if it is legal. We are really interested in the code page,
    // not the country
   _tprintf (texto);
   MessageBox (NULL, texto, texto, MB_OK);

I can't tell you what the right or best way to do this is, because I also 
know nothing about this subject, but it works.

See the C runtime library reference at http://msdn.microsoft.com for more 
information.
