Dell D420 with Data Projector and Powerpoint

When I attach a data projector to my new Dell D420, all works fine, except
when I put Powerpoint into slideshow mode, it goes berzerk--locks up and
beeps repeatedly. It requires a hard restart to get out of it. My company
has bought 3 of these, and it's the same problem on all of them, even with
different data projectors. What can I do? I need to make presentations.

Something vaguely similar came up a few days ago. The fix was to set the PC's
video resolution to 1024x768 (on both monitors if you're sending the external
monitor separately to the projector).
 
I had already tried that :(
