Jani:
This will involve editing the registry so do this at your own risk.
Please create a restore point just in case anything goes wrong.
Open the registry (Start, Run, Regedit <ENTER>)
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\
Look for the "Start" DWORD entry and change its value to 4.
Accept and exit.
Restart.
You should be Ok now.
