What problem are you having?

At a guess, your "screen" is your console, which uses a different character
set than MS Windows proper (or similar GUIs). The Desktop uses ISO 8859-1
Latin, where most Spanish is written, and the console (or "Command Prompt")
uses IBM Code Page 437. Here's my console's mode:

>mode

Status for device CON:
----------------------
    Lines: 300
    Columns: 120
    Keyboard rate: 31
    Keyboard delay: 1
    Code page: 437

A forum that discusses internationalization will know how to the 'mode'
command built-into CMD.EXE to change the code page. This is probably a
frequently asked question, so start with Google.
