Are you sure you mounted it right?
It sounds like you have the trackball turned 45 degrees.
There is a marking on it that says "Monitor", and has an arrow on it.

The optic cards on the trackball should be parallel, and perpendicular to the monitor.

Here's a picture of the proper orientation for it.
