Reversing Trackpad Scrolling
I just received a new Dell with Windows 7 Refresh laptop and the scrolling on the trackpad scrolls backwards ('natural' is what Apple calls it I believe). I have searched and searched for a solution and all I find is the Surface and Windows 8 solutions. I have gone into trackpad settings but no dice. I will admit, I have been a Mac user for a good decade so Windows does not come easily to me but I think I'm retarded now
HELP, please!
HELP, please!

Rotate the laptop 180 degrees and it will work fine.

Give it 3 days. What you will find (if you aren't actually retarded) is that your brain will adjust. What happens after it adjusts is you will be able to use either seamlessly. I use a Mac for my personal work computer, but I have to use PC's with XP for the work I do (kind of like a lab computer). When OSX updated to the "natural" way, I hated it, but I gave it a try and stuck with it. Now when I go to the PC, I might go the wrong direction momentarily, but my brain immediately switches back. Watching people use my Mac is quite hilarious because they just give up. Seriously, give it a shot.

I find it funny that they call it natural when it's so unnatural. It's like something a forum member would say to me as he invades my asshole.

Hope it works and thanks for the laughs, now get back to 'invading.'
Oh, no way I'm changing my mac to 'natural,' why is that even an option?

Well natural makes sense in our touch/gesture oriented mobile tech world. It's just unnatural on a PC.
And you're welcome.

How do you scroll on a touchscreen? When you move your finger up, does your screen image go down? That's why it's "natural".

You swipe and the content scrolls. You know what I mean.

If there was a scroll BAR on the side of your tablet screen, guess which way you would drag it to make the page go downward...

Meh. Like I said, live 3 days with the other way and you won't care which is which.
