Enabling/Disabling touchpad on HP EliteBook

Several days ago I faced a problem with the non-working touchpad on my HP EliteBook 8470p. It was not too big problem, but sometimes it is more convinient to use the touchpad than mouse. I googled the problem and found several advises. One of them was to reset the notebook by ejecting it's battery and pushing power button in 30 secs. I tried that advice and touchpad became to work, but only before OS loading. As soon as Windows 7 loaded the touchpad goes into disabling with graphical symbol with touchpad crossed by red.
In fact, the problem is resolved on software level with simultaneous double clicking on Fn keyboard and top-left part of the touchpad (with small red light indicator in case of disabled touchpad).
