What do you mean when the video doesn't run? What is it that you are trying
to achieve in the first place? How is the video inserted?

I Insert Movie From File and set it to start when clicked. When I go into
SlideShow mode when I get to the slide with the video (it does this with all
videos, mpg avi etc) and click it...it does not run.
However, if i go into SlideShow mode and advance to the slide with the video
and click it once then back to the beginning or just backup one slide and
come back to the video slide when I click the video it runs fine (still in
slide show mode).
