touchpad no reverse scroll option

[TheHandyOne]

No options available for settings of the installed touchpad.  Driver has been updated for the touchpad.  I am a reverse scroller and would love to remain so.  New PC and no options other than mouse properties.

I found that you need to access these seeing by opening the Synaptics Touch pad program from the start menu. It cannot be accessed from the computer settings/control panel. 

I got it fixed.

Thnx
