I added the new vector layer in QGIS and I want to draw a circle of 500M or 1000M from center.
I also added the pluginn Rectangles ovals digitizing in QGIS. But the options of this pluginn is not active.
How do I use this plugin?

In order to draw polygons, you first need to create an empty polygon layer (layer > new > new shapefile layer, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvuvmCOnpoM). You will then be able to use polygon editing tools.
Please also note that if you want a circle around each of your points, you can use the buffer tool (vector > geoprocessing tool > buffer)
I also had this problem. Re-start QGIS helped (as helped several times before when newly installed plug-ins resisted to get activated).
