Hi thanks for replying to me I will look into the other mining. I did  add an exclusion in my anitvirus but didn't work just so strange how it starts but will not mine.

Hi I am new too mining and me and my two other friends are having problems using the electroneum for beginners programme it starts to mine then stops straight away.  We are using old low cpu laptops all 64bit windows 10 cpu between 1.60 GHz and just over 2 GHz could this be he reason they are not working ?

Also disabled antivirus and Windows firewall still didn't work reinstall the program 10 times too.

Your help would be great.
