When i'm in my admincp, when I try and save options under vb options it keeps asking me to log in. Everything else in my admincp is functional except the options under vb options. I re-uploaded admincp and it didn't fix the problem. Anyone know what the problem may be?

No. My site was hacked & Destroyed on Saturday so I unforntunately have to rebuild my site :(
So I haven't added anything at all yet. All i've done is upload the files to my host and install vbulletin. I set up the categories but for some reason when i go into my options it won't save any option changes and just keeps asking me to log in as soon as I click save.

This may be due to mod_security.
While mod_security can be a very powerful tool, misconfigured or overly strict rule sets can interfere with vBulletins Operation. Below for Apache users you can use an htaccess file and add a specific rule to disable mod_security.
Make or edit your forum .htaccess file and add the following code
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
Note, place this file in your main forum directory.

Thanks for the info Marco! I have a question though, how do I edit my .htacess file? Is the vbulletin-adminhelp.xml file located in my install folder the file I have to edit? If so, how do I edit a .xml file? Sorry for all the questions.

You don't need to edit an XML-file.
If there is a file named .htaccess in your forumhome edit it, otherwise create a new textfile with that name with the above content and upload it.
PS If you are on a Windows PC, you might need to create the file first with a different name, upload it and then rename.

If you have a problem, please start your own thread with your details. If you are running IIS, then the above advise is not for you.
