Check the Device Manager for appropriate information regarding onboard pointing devices, name, model, even driver version might help you re-locate these.

I updated my mom's laptop and she lost the volume control buttons, but I found the driver via the gateway website...

What kind of laptop is it? You may be able to find the drivers there. (manufacturers website)

Your mouse stick (nipple ) will work once you install Windows again. You just need to make sure that IBM posted all of the necessary drivers for your laptop. For the most part Windows XP has the needed drivers, except for chipset, video and audio in some cases.
