OK... Why did you rename index.php to _index.php? Note that this needs to be correct for everything to work properly.

When you request http://nspirationplus.com/aboutus, the directives in .htaccess will transform the request to http://nspirationplus.com/index.php?page=aboutus internally. Since index.php was renamed, this won't work.

If you renamed it so it would be hidden, it would have been better to install it in a sub-folder for testing. (don't do it now.. we're so close! :))

Try renaming _index.php to index.php and see if it works.

One more question...
What do I need to do if I setup CMSms in a subfolder, like /test, how do I move it later on to put the site online?

Your config.php file would have a lot of references to '/test'.. Change these to the new path and it should work. Make sure you clear your cache in the admin panel before moving. It often doesn't quite work when I do this, because it's easy to miss something.

Ok so how are you all doing it, while setting up a site, you don't want the public to see it before it is actually finished.

I usually put them into sub-folders. If there was no existing site, I'll have index.html be "Coming Soon". I ensure that .html takes precedence over .php. When done testing, then copying everything over, and testing again, I remove the index.html and the site is live.

A little trickier when replacing a live site, but similar to my process above.
