For some reason using my GUI wallet with all the blockchain synchronised to it
when I go to mine I get an error message, I click on both options for threads and wonder why this is happening
also What is the easiest way to mine Monero and support the network?


Wich error message do you get?
The easiest way is to setup a node that is mining --> https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/mining/

even though wallet is synchronised the error message i get is "error mining" could not start mining"

Are you in the GUI or in the CLI?

GUI
also tried different combinations  #of CPU threads but nothing works

One quick thing is to see if your firewall or some anti-malware/anti-virus program is blocking the GUI wallet from doing its thing
