#include <stdio.h>
 
int main ()
{
 
int paragraphs = 0;
char emptyLine; 
 
        FILE * fp;
        fp=fopen("c:\\text.txt", "r");
 
 
 
            while ((emptyLine = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
            if (emptyLine == '\n' )
           paragraphs++;
 
 
fprintf(stdout,"number of paragraphs : %d\n", paragraphs );
fclose(fp);
 
getchar();

Something is wrong here, you say. Why do you say that? What observations do you make? If the program isn't counting the number of paragraphs, what is it doing? What do you see on the screen?

I already see one problem. fgetc returns an int, not a char.
