As with all joystick-like equipment, the trackpoint needs to calibrate, the only way is to use the position the trackpoint is in (for the last 10-30sec) as the centre. So if U contiunously hold the pointer down for too long, it would assume that is the resting position. As a result, when U release, the notebook thinks U are moving UP :) A little confusing.. but just let the pointer go for awhile and the recalibration will set it all right...
