JQuery Conflict with Dropotron Menu and Lightbox

JQuery Conflict with Dropotron Menu and Lightbox

Hello,
 
I am very new to coding in Dreamweaver and have spent the better part of 2 days trying to resolve this. I have seen many similar posts online, but can't get the code to work in my webpage.
I've got a navigation menu that uses JQuery and when I attempt to insert Lightbox into the page, the menu does not function properly. I'm sure this is a JQuery conflict. I have tried the JQuery.noconflict()...not working. Can anyone provide me with exactly where I need to insert the JQuery.noconflict() and what, if anything I need to adjust in my code? Thank-you in advance.
 
 My code is as follows:

The Lightbox JS begins with the following code...
 
(function($) {
 /**
  * JQuery is an alias to jQuery object
  *
  */
 jQuery.fn.lightBox = function(settings) {
  // Settings to configure the jQuery lightBox plugin how you like
  settings = jQueryS.extend({
