Aways try the basic things before rewriting files....

Try putting your forum in a seperate folder and see what happens ..

is your homepage a basic .html extention... if so try renaming to .php

"but my question is do i need rewrite engine on?"

Absolutely! VBSEO won't work without rewrite. If rewrite is enabled, it would be the whole site not just a page.
