There's a couple different versions of Visual Studio 2010 Express. There's VB, C#, C++, Web and Phone versions (and one does not include the other). Can you confirm that you have the C# version installed (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express)?

For KinectSabre.Render.csproj there's two;

<ProjectTypeGuids>{6D335F3A-9D43-41b4-9D22-F6F17C4BE596};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>

Here's a good list for the ProjectTypeGuids

http://www.mztools.com/Articles/2008/MZ2008017.aspx

Type ProjectTypeGuids for this project are;

Windows (C#) {FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}
XNA (Windows) {6D335F3A-9D43-41b4-9D22-F6F17C4BE596}

You've already said you have all these installed, so I'm not sure why you can't get this project to load...

I've seen where someone with a like problem in another solution removed that line from the csprog file to get a project to load. I can't recommend this as it bypasses important system checks, but...

I am trying to run this on a laptop that does not support hidef. I have changed it to reach instead but still getting an error.

XNA Framework Reach profile requires TextureAddressMode to be Clamp when using texture sizes that are not powers of two.

The type or namespace name 'Research' does not exist...

Sounds like it's to do with the sdk version but I have downloaded and installed the 01 Feb release. I had a beta sdk prior to this.
