Slides with movies will not advance with mouse click

Not all of my slides will advance with a mouse click but it takes a click of
the "enter" key to get it to advance. Why? I need all slides to advance
with a click - not by pressing the "enter key". I've noticed that it happens
with some slides that have a short movie clip on it. Does anyone know why
this is happening and how to change it? THanks,

When the movies are playing, the mouse click will pause and restart the
movie. This is designed functionality.

You can not eliminate it is someone has a trigger mouse finger, but you can
make it so that it isn't as bad.

Under the custom animations on the slide with the movie, you will see a
Trigger effect. Select the Trigger: Movie.wmv (or whatever) and click the
remove button at the top of the pane.

When a slide is entered (if you have chosen) the movie starts.
If the user waits until the end of the movie, the next click will
advance the slide.
If the user does not wait until the end of the movie, the click will
take them to the end of the movie. This is the same behavior that happens
with any animation on a slide. If an animation is not completed, a click
will take it to the end point.
