Mouse pointer do random clicks and computer makes beep sounds when particle is connected

General

Hello,
I am programming the Photon(P0) for quite a while now. Since yesterday I am getting experiencing this strange problem. When the particle is connected to my computer, the mouse pointer clicks randomly and my computer makes beep sounds. I recompiled my program without any print statements and it works fine.

I think my computer is thinking the particle as a mouse and interpreting the data on the serial line as mouse data. I checked the device manager and the Particle showed up as Photon with a COM port with and without serial data. I am not sure what’s happening. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Dheeraj
