"Red eye" is caused by light (typically the flash) reflecting off the back of the eye in dim light, when the pupil of the eye is wide open to let in more light. Ever see an animals eyes "glow" in the dark? Red eye is basically the same thing.
Red eye is more likely to happen if the flash and lens are very close together, essentially on the same axis.
To eliminate red eye, there's a few things you can do. You can try turning on lights in the room to make the pupil smaller (thus letting in less light) and essentially hide the back of the eye.
You can also try the red eye reduction on, although you've probably noticed that it's not very effective. The eye reacts too slowly in most cases to the pre-flashes.
If you can steady the camera, and if you can get people to hold still, you can try available light shooting (no flash at all).
Unfortunately, the best way to eliminate red eye is not an option for you--that is, moving the flash further away from the lens. Because your flash is fixed in it's position, there's no way to get the flash any further away, and there's no hot shoe for an external flash.
A final option is to use software to hide the red eye in your images. Most photo software these days has some kind of option for hiding red eye.

I'm from the old school, red eye is caused by the flash bouncing off the very inside of the eye showing the blood vessels. Solution try not to aim the flash directly at the subject. Other ways are to diffuse the flash via a simple piece of tissue over the flash. Of course you can use some computer program.

I, too, am Old School. I've never gotten "redeye" because I always use bounce flash with the flash mounted off-camera. Check ebay and look at all the flash diffusers that are available. One should fit your camera and eliminate the problem. You can, as previously suggested, use a piece of white tissue or cloth to do the same thing.

The only thing you can do is make it set so it will flash either 2 or 3 times. And besides, you should be able to something on your camera program.
