See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25730 .The 265 will not play mp3 .You will need sox.exe and wav file.
The biggest problems with the alerts and icons not working are the files not being named the same except for extensions and having double extensions. Double-check each of them. The best way to prevent double extensions is to go to your folder options in the control panel and click view then find hide extensions for known file types and remove the check mark. Click ok.This is for Windows XP.

Make sure to put the sox.exe in the correct location on the computer.This is a one time deal.Once installed thats it for sox.exe.
