First off, make sure you installed things in the right order. The wrong order can get messed up sometimes as registry settings etc. won't be correct.

1. Install VS 2005 Express
2. Install XNA Game Studio 2.0
3. Install TX2D

Next go to File > New Project. In the Project Types under Visual C# look for a XNA Game Studio node (I have 3.0 installed so can't remember what it was called in 2.0). Click on that node. Inside the window marked Visual Studio installed templates you should see Starter Game 2D (3.0) as a new option. Click that to create a new TX2D game.
