Chances are that you don't need to replace your software but to replace your Kinect: There are several models of the Kinect, and a number of programs using the Kinect only work with the first Kinect for XBox - they will fail with a Kinect for Windows or the second revision of Kinect for XBox. I made that experience first hand, and the symptom on OS X was for me a crash after ~30 seconds.

The compatible version is a Kinect for Xbox 360 model 1414 - that's the one you want. I have a newer Kinect for XBox model 1473, and that causes many programs to crash. You can find the version of your Kinect on the sticker on the bottom of the Kinect.
