    I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro on to a formatted SDD, and installed the drivers from the Dell support.

    Ever since I reinstalled it, I have been having a bit of issues with my touchpad.

    1. The "two finger" right click thing on the touchpad does not seem to work.

    2. In Dell Touchpad application, I no longer see an option to reverse scroll under Gestures --> Two Finger Gestures. I remember seeing the reverse scroll option when I first got this laptop and I had used the touchpad with the reverse scroll enabled. Now that I reinstalled Windows and reinstalled the newest Touchpad application from Dell, I don't have the option to reverse scroll direction? (To the mac style).

    I installed the Alps touchpad driver from Dell as well.

    Thanks again!

    Best I can come up with is, are you sure you installed the most up-to-date touchpad driver? Reverse scroll was not an option in some of the older versions (before Windows 8 was out). Not sure about two-finger right-click, I always disable the tap-to-click option.
