I get the error "You have a dynamic site. Update in all pages is not available. Use menu in a include file", this happens when I try to edit a menu and save to all pages. This use to never happen before. But I had to reformat and reload my menus

Hello,
Do you use the menu inside a PHP page or other server side script page?
The 'update in all pages' feature is not available in dynamic pages as you don't need it. You can simply create the menu in one page and then include that page in all places you want to use it. This way, you will have only one menu instance that will be easy to manage and edit at all times.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Well they are web pages, that do include php code, but that shouldnt be an issue, I have been doing that for the longest time. I just reformatted and installed windows 7, and now I am getting that error. I did try the php script, but it is acting buggy. Also now what I face is that when I go to "insert existing menu", nothing shows up but when I go to "Edit" the drop down menu, it shows up. Once I save it, it ends up creating a new folder in the include directory called "Creative_menu", but the folder that it should be working from is "Creative Menu" without the _ .

Hello again,
You had an older version installed before you reformatted. In the latest version we replaced the folder "Creative Menus" with the one with the underscore. We made this change because Linux servers don't accept spaces in folder names.
You can edit the menu and let it insert the new folder structure and new html code in the page. You can't 'insert existing menu' before you edit it because it looks inside the "Creative_Menus" folder for existing menus.
If the pages have some php code on them this means that they are saved with the php extension. So they are dynamic pages and you can use the php include function. Here's a link that explains that function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
You just have to insert the menu in a page called for example "menu.php" and then include that page where you want to use the menu. The code to include that page would be: <?php include('menu.php'); ?>
Afterwards, it's very easy to make changes to the menu because you just have to edit that instance from the 'menu.php' page. The other pages will include that page and you don't have to make any updates to them.
Regards,
Andrei

Should I just leave the javascript code in the pages instead of the php script
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript"> buildMenu() </script>
I think where they are placed on the page is important.

Hello,
I don't understand what you mean. The javascript that builds the menu should be left in the page that will be included.
