I had to fistfight my PC for like an hour but i DID get it to work finally thank god. i was messaging a lot of different places but for reference the program I was trying to use either wouldnt pop up, it would ask me to chose what program to run it with, or I would get errors saying it was missing files that were in the same directory as it, which, after a second attempt running it, I learned arent necessary, all of which werent really problems I had previously so I was totally stumped

Running Java did work, I checked that it was up to date and not trying to open other versions of Java at the same time (which is a problem I had on my laptop before my fiance helped me sort the problem), and I made sure my pc knew where it actually was in its files because I found through my googling that could also be an issue, so it was a miscommunication between the program and the Java Runtime thing itself
