CAUSE

The Projector Wizard is a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 feature that is no longer available in later versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.

WORKAROUND

Use the Performance settings in the Set Up Show dialog box to make the resolution and the hardware acceleration compatible with whatever projector is being used.
