Have a look at the great OpenOffice
http://www.openoffice.org/

There's also Portable OpenOffice
"Portable OpenOffice.org is a fully functional package of OpenOffice.org
optimized for use on a USB key drive."

Theatre is a freeware presentation program (like powerpoint or
keynotes).

I've already tried it. It's more a slideshow program than a
powerpoint-like presentation software...

Seriously consider OpenOffice. It is what PowerPoint should be.

Canon Mediator. Susan Burgher of this group has a URL for it.

You have to register it, but Canon no longer supports it. However, someone
here described how you can install it and get around the register issue.
Susan might have that info as well.

snippets from ACF posts:

<q>

won't instal because the Canon registration system doesn't respond.

It is possible to install (hint FAX)

Better hint please

at the start of the install there is an ini file in a temp directory that has a line controlling
whether or not you get the opportunity to register by fax. Edit, save and proceed with entering details.

I just added that info to the wiki (wiki links are shown on the ACF web pages):

Thanks for the help. I was hoping to find a stand alone application but
I'm going to go ahead and get open office. I wonder if the portable one
uses less ram.
