Hi Grammatim
How strange that they have a projector but no laptop... Anyway, see here for
2003 viewer requirements:

How well the powerpoint will run will depend on what the file is like - does
it have video, sound, lots of animation, electronically large pictures etc.
My advice would be to get there early, save the presentation to the laptop's
hard-drive (rather than running from CD) and run through the presentation
once so it's cached (so don't close the viewer after running through).
Without knowing more about the presentation and the laptop it's hard to say
whether you're going to have problems or not. But *always* be prepared for
your beautifully prepared powerpoint file not to run - lost cds, laptop
problems, powercuts, military coups... So have a back-up plan and be prepared
to present without visual aids :-)
