Thanks for the information. I apologize for the delay in responding; the
reason will become clear below.
I'll need to get up to speed on JNLP and will be able to do this until the
conference I'm at ends and Saturday and I have a few days off before the next
conference.
However, reading through the release notes I would have guessed that the
problem is the one labeled "Non-JNLP trusted applet fails to load using the
file:\\ URL." I'll need to read up about JNLP to try these workarounds.
I also found that the problem is even worse on Windows 8.1 on a Microsoft
Surface 2. The applet at http://www.segal.org/java/SignedAppletTest/ doesn't
run locally using either Internet Explorer (version 11) or Firefox, even using
Java 8 build 111. Fortunately our main applet, which this test applet was made
to mimic, does run using Firefox and 8 b111, so I'm able to demonstrate the
software at the conference (but it doesn't run locally on IE 11 even using 8
build 111). But I discovered this at 2:30 AM (the Surface went on sale at
midnight) and got virtually no sleep that night because it took a while to find
the Firefox workaround and I needed to be back at the conference early in the
morning.
I usually answer email sooner, but it has been a rough few days, but all of
those who are working on Java and occasionally hear claims that it Java slow
will be gratified to know that we can run a clinical analysis of a genome in
under a second on Microsoft's new tablet using Java.
Once we can solve the problem with running locally we will feel better, and get
more sleep.

I think this is a known issue. There is a workaround documented in the
JDK 7u45 release notes, can you try it out? See "JNLP applet fails to
load if using JNLP versioning.":
