How do I fix my old Windows XP?

Question

My XP is one of the first XPs ever. Nothing's wrong with it, but occasionally, the mouse (on the computer, not the one I use to move it) moves around randomly and closes some of my files (mainly internet explorer) and opens new ones (Mainly Windows Movie Maker). What do I do to stop this?

Update:

I don't own a cellphone...
