HELP!!!

Well I don’t know if I currently have time to help. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow some time.

But for starters:

Recheck that you have the RX and TX lines connected properly. Think about their data direction.

Go back the the PC Settings tab in X-CTU. Do you have the correct Baud rate etc set?

You checked the Enable API box, are you sure the XBee you have is running Firmware with the API interface?

Have you read the document on the XBees and note the default settings?

Here is a very recent thread that has links to the XBees sold by SparkFun and other info:
