I want to start a second account so I can have a fighter in addition to a manufacturer. Is there an easy way to start a second account or do I have to do it the same way I did the first one?

Just go about it like you did the first time. Except you do not need to download the client again if you are playing on the same computer.

You * DO NOT * have to download the client again.
This is actually explained on the EVE site, forgot where.
You only need to make a new folder (say EVE2) copy the current EVE folder to that one, make a shortcut to it, run it and use the new account there.
I run 2 accounts like this

The only time making a 2nd folder actually makes a difference is if you have 2 physically seperate hard drives in your PC (NOT in a RAID array mind you, seperate drives). You can open multiple eve clients from the same folder with no problems otherwise.

Personally, I haven't been able to make this work. The second copyed client always gives me an error saying that it's been damaged and I should re-install it.
And I'd really like to use EVE Launcher to start both my clients so that I don't have to move them around my monitors and crap. And EVE Launcher doesn't support launching 2 instances from the same directory.
Anybody have any ideas???

Huh? That is extremely weird, and should not happen unless you have horribly corrupt hard disks.

My system automatically does the defrag and check disk every week. And I haven't had any other problems. Just this one with the 2 client thing.

0.o 2 folders on different hdd's? hmmm... i have 3 accounts... and i only use 1 install... i start one, login, minimise it, start it again, log my other char in, minimise it again and start it another time, and log my 3rd in... switch back to nr1 who is in char selection screen, then my second, also in char selection screen... and also with the 3rd... works perfectly (had to buy more memory tough... that was the only thing i came short with...)
i have 25fps with all my clients... AND to make matters worse, i run them all in windowed mode...
