MATLAB R2015a Startup error regarding java.lang.​RuntimeExc​eption

When I launch MATLAB I get the error message: "Warning: Caught Exception while retrieving executable temp base directory: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not determine a temporary executable directory ... Exception in thread "Startup Class Loader" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: C:\Users\R&R\Documents\MATLAB\gluegen-rt.dll ...."

Some MATLAB functions work, but any attempt to work with images using command such as 'imread' causes the resultant message "Caught unexpected exception of unknown type" and then the program demands to be closed with message "MATLAB has encountered an internal problem and needs to close"

This is a newly purchased STUDENT installation on this laptop running under Windows 8.1, but previously had a university short term license on this laptop which was removed prior to installation. Assistance would be appreciated. Robert Moore

This issue is caused by JAVA Open GL (JOGL) not being able to load certain native binary files from the temp directories, attributed to various possible reasons.

The patch for this issue is available in the external bug report:
