Using   Left Alt  + code (on numeric pad)  should work (it does on my
WIndows 7 box)

133 	à
138 	è
141 	ì
149 	ò
151 	ù

I used this long time ago, when the Italian keyboards didn't have the
characters "{`}" and I was programming in C (btw, the Italian keyboard
doesn't have the bactick still Alt+96).

Should everything else fail, the charmap.exe utility (in the
Accessories folder) will let you copy the accented characters in the
clipboard (and you'll have to paste them where you need them).

Considering how infrequently accented characters are used in Lojban, I
would consider this a little hindrance compared to having to throw
capital letters in the middle of a lojban word.
