Im having some problems running two different accounts (two seperate Eve clients). If I do not turn off sound in at least one of them , Ill crash. Real nasty BSOD with reset an everything. Thats not the normal day experience in Windows XP anymore. Anyways, Im using an Audigy, and I suspect thats why I hear many pops and clicks when running two eve clients, even with sound turned off in the one.
It wasnt like that previous to Exodus.
I get the same weird sound problems you get with an integrated SB card on the mobo so its not your sound card. I think they hosed it for us duel players

512MB XP-SP2 Nvidia, 2 Clients 1 install - no problems [also with 3 clients - though does get a bit chuggy]
768MB Win98 NVidia, 2 Clients 1 Install - crashes a lot - usually when 1 client exits - the keyboard can lock and that is it. - 1 client runs for hours np

I run 3 clients from 3 EVE folders copied from my original install. Get the odd CTD once in a while since Exodus. GFX options are at minimum for 2 of the 3 clients.

After Exodus I reinstalled both my Eve-installs from the full client download. Running on XP SP2 i never had a CTD since Exodus was introduced.
Only Prob is that 1st client runs at 60 fps, 2nd only on 32 fps on second monitor, but I can live with that 
P4/3.2GHz@800MHz, 2GB PC400 DDR, GF5900Ultra

for some reason I have never had any trouble running two accounts (except for the rather heavy load on the cpu). They never crash for me.
I have an AMD 1400 MHz, 512 mb ram

I run 2 EVEs and neither crashes ....
Only under Windows XP does the following work (windows 9x/2000 manages memory space differently so this wont work).
Create a new user and give it administrator rights.
Copy your eve game folder to another place (ie eve1)
Create a new shortcut to eve1\eve.exe
Right click on this shortcut and click properties
Click the Advanced button and put a tick in "Run with different credentials"
Click OK twice
Now when u run that shortcut choose the new user u made earlier and enter the password.
By doing the above Windows XP will run the above EVE session in separate memory space to another EVE running.
BTW I run both in Window mode cos it's easier to swap between them and sometimes EVE crashes when running in full screen and alt-tabbing.
Running EVE twice under the same user will always make the first one crash (If it doesn't u got lucky).
I believe with NT based OS's windows always launches applications in their own memory space so no need to run it as another user.
Running in seperate accounts seems safer to me - although I do not believe running using the same directory will cause a crash by itself. I would recommend running seperate directories though as, for example, if one of your accounts has problems and you need to blow away all your cache or re-install it will only effect one of the accounts (folders for bookmarks, unread evemails etc).
I run up to 5 accounts on one pc and have noticed there have been CTD's caused by multiple different driver levels for nVidia cards - 66.93 seems to be a good one but there were a number of 5x levels that caused CTD's/lock ups with multiple clients, I heard reports that the later beta drivers also had issues.
