You didn't quote the full error message, not even the relevant line number, so you are making this hard for anyone who wants to help.
But at a quick scan you appear to handle some IOExceptions correctly, so it's essential that you provide full error message details and, most important, the line number(s).

In the meantime you could check the API doc for newInputStream

public static InputStream newInputStream(Path path, OpenOption... options) throws IOException (etc etc)

... which means you need to handle that exception if you call that method.

On another topic re that code...

The use of a single shared actionPerformed for every control in the window leads to a horribly long if/ese/else if/... mess that's hard to read and harder to follow. Why not use this structure to break it up and make it much clearer with one method for each button, and a simple method reference to set the actionListener, eg...

public void exitAction(ActionEvent e) {
   // do whatever for an exit
}
public void enterAction(ActionEvent e) {
   // do whatever for an enter
}
... etc
...
exit.addActionListener(this::exitAction);
enter.addActionListener(this::enterAction);
... etc
