I guess that I must have done something wrong when I tried to install 431JP2012 and it looks like the two installs got their savefiles confused. I don't know how this could happen because they are in two separate folders. Anyway, a good lesson for installing too many frugals.

Maybe 2 reasons.
1. You ran the 431JP2012 with a live CD. In this case, the 431JP2012 uses the existing pupsave at pup431 folder and make it change.
You were better to run the live CD with RAM only mode, you can find at the advanced menu.
2. The 'psubdir=' entry was missing in the menu.lst entry.
An example wrote:
title Pup 431 (sda1/puppy2012)
find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd --set-root /puppy2012/initrd.gz
kernel /puppy2012/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=puppy2012 pfix=fsck
initrd /puppy2012/initrd.gz

'puppy2012' is the folder name where the 431JP2012 installed.
'ataflash' assumes the internal SSD.
The grub4dosconfig makes 'pmedia=atahd' automatically. You need to manually edit the 'pmedia=' entry.

Something broke in my 4.3.1 install, and it told me it cannot find my desktop background image. Also, there is a funny icon next to the "Help" entry in the main menu, and when I click on the help icon it tells me that it cannot find the japanese help file.

Do in the 4.3.1 original. EDIT: 'pup_ro4' was wrong. correct is 'pup_ro2'.
1. Copy the file /initrd/pup_ro2/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc (overwrite).
2. Execute commands on a virtual terminal:
Code:
# fixmenus
# jwm -restart

Green,

"""I guess that I must have done something wrong when I tried to install 431JP2012 and it looks like the two installs got their savefiles confused. I don't know how this could happen because they are in two separate folders. """

Puppy "Scans" for the first available lupu_525.sfs.
and
Puppy "Scans" for the first available lupu_save.2fs .

Have seen scans where it found 3 Save.2fs files
from various booting/running installs, in my development system.

Think the "fsckme.flg" file written local
to the vmlinuz/initrd files can control this.
May be an extra boot required to make this set into the system.

Anyway, you can rename the Save.2fs files,
making them mutually exclusive.
Look forward to working this out on your system, in the future.

Thanks Shinobar, that got my menus back to normal. (only problem was my pup_ro4 folder was empty, but I could see that the pup_ro2 folder was mounted so I grabbed the file from there.) Thanks!
