projection problems

Dear Diva- GIS team

I just downloaded Diva GIs7.5 and trying to do the tutorial , of the potatoes. I am stuck in the projection ,because the window I get looks quite different as in the guide. It does not have any case like unit , or projection, or any tab it only has "From" and "to". in the proj.4 notation

It ried to figure out the way I should have written the transformation, I need this (, Unit as meters, Projection as Lambert Equal - Area Azimuthal, Central Meridian as -79, Reference Latitude as 0, False Easting as 0 and False Northing as 0.)and wrote this:
+proj=laea +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-79 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +units=m

But I got an error saying dest proj error.
I do not know what it means.

Could you please help me
