Hello everyone,
I have been trying to run a program to help me study for my medical board exams and it uses java web start. I have tried to run the demo program off of the java website as well and I keep getting the same error.

Sorry I didn't know exactly what info was needed to help with my problem so I just included everything it gave me. I have tried disabling my symantec antivirus, windows firewall and defender, but have had no success. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks,
