May be a dumb question but why don't you just export the slides to bitmap graphics or to a PDF? I rarely give presentations anymore but that's the approach I've always taken, especially if I'm going to have to use other hardware. A series of TIFFs or JPGs and the free Irfanview which will run on a thumb drive or CD and you're set.
