I have that problem too.
Sorry I don't have a solution.
Perhaps it happens not on every computer or installation. Maybe others
who don't have the problem would like to say it here, so we may be able
to find out what causes the problem.
Last time I did not install the BP package by running the installation
diskettes any more, but copied the entire directory and some settings to
the new computer.

Does the solution in the irregularly-posted c.l.p.b. mFAQ not work for
you? Scan for blink, not flash.

I get the fast flash rate too, and I don;t know what it is - it would
be interesting to know. That's on a P100 too. Using BP7 on a Win32
system seems to cuase no other harm though.
