Got my retrievers!!!! I bought 3 retrievers and 6x modulated strip miners. Made everything I spent back in 2 hours! One can flipper stole 6000m3 of ore while I was using the bathroom.

You've gotta find that error it's showing you. That's key.
I know they aren't trials, but the error you get for trials is something like "We are happy you're so excited to play Eve, but please limit yourself to playing one trial account at a time." Or something like that.
I assume you've changed to windowed mode, and you you've turned the advanced graphics settings on. There is a selector that will allow you to choose the video card, so if you are running multiple cards you can change that to keep direct x from switching to software when you cross card boundaries, even though the eve client will always go back to the main monitor on log off and even when you change that setting.
Are you running from the same directory or have you done the wow symlink thing? I'm running all of mine from the same directory, so if you are symlinking, try it without.
Beyond that, I've not got any ideas. It just worked for me. Might want to check the forums on the eve site, I know there are people in the rookie channel always asking about it, but they usually are hitting the trial issue which isn't your problem.
Good luck, and do let us know what you find out.
Edit: Are you hitting a cluster queue? I just logged off and logged back on and got the queue message, so maybe you just were logging on in prime time? Just asking everything I can think of.

What were you mining? Veld only or a mix of whatever was available? The system I'm in now is really crowded. Most belts are empty so it's hard to get a consistent yield going. What is your system like?
Also, are you using a combat ship to handle rats, or just swapping out drones when you get rats?
Glad to hear. Also good to know in case anyone else runs up against the same issue.

Sorry about that Souca it was my choice of system and it's not good - I'm happy to relocate seeing as I made a hash of the choice.
Where are oher people based? It would be good if we could get all of us within a few jumps of each other for massive mining ops. Souca and I are lurking in Abudban, Heimatar region as it's near to where I had a ton of characters stashed.
Also: Ding! My main can now fly an Orca (although I can't afford to buy one yet, cash supply is low at the moment...)
No worries. We'd both just gotten back into it so there wasn't any real way to know if it would be decent or not. I've moved over to Inder with my mining ships. 0.5 system so the rats are more frequent, but as long as you have a remote armor repair and good drones or a combat ship they aren't an issue. I worked on a belt that looked pretty fresh. After 3 hours I think I only mined out about 20% of it and got something like 1.6M trit, 0.54M pyr and 0.31M mex. Never saw another ship at the belt the entire time. In fact, even with my 5 ships there local never went above 15 players. There is only one station and you need to make 2 jumps to Hek to sell anything, but it's definately better mining.
If we can all find a decent system or two to work in that would be cool. If possible I'd like it to be in Gallente space, or at least a short trip from their turf, so I can put up a POS to do BPO research. My main has 3.94 standing with Gallente so it will be much faster for him to get to 6+ standing as every other faction standing is below 1.
3 days to a freighter on my hauler skill wise. Going to have to pick up some PLEX to pay for the ship though, not sure I want to mine 900M worth with only a Iteron to haul it. I'm thinking I can either log the freighter out near the belt and log back on when cans are full or just dock and warp out. While it would be easiest to just let it float there, I'm not sure its safe to do so even in 0.5 space. Anyone have any thoughts on this? How easy is it for someone to kill a freighter in 0.5 space? Is it even worth it to them? If it were full, there is no way they could haul everything off without a freighter of their own. I never plan to take it below a 0.5 system without major protection so I'm trying to get a baseline of how careful I need to be with it in 0.5 or higher. Losing battleships are one thing, but at nearly a billion I don't want to lose a freighter unless there is no way I could have planned for it.

My system has been pretty darn good. Even if all the veldspar is cleared out there's tons of other minerals to mine. Veldspar does have a good isk/hour ratio, but I wouldn't say it's mindblowing. I don't even refine my crap, I just right click>sell. I could take my ore and sell them at a different station for perhaps a increase of 5 isk per ore, but most of the best deals are like 6 jumps away. I'm not gonna sit in my hauler and wait for it to jump 6 times just to get a measely 100k profit.What were you mining? Veld only or a mix of whatever was available?

Last night some noob was hovering right near me while I was mining, he stole like 493m3 of ore. I had to constantly empty my can right away so he wouldn't steal. After a few minutes of that I just warped everyone to another belt. So that slowed me down a bit. I encounter a can flipper pretty much every time I go mining.
As for rats I have a lazerr mounted on my hauler. He can easily take out any rats that will bother us with the single laser, it takes a while but it gets the job done. I used to have rocket launchers on my ospreys that sped up the kill, but since I upgraded to retrievers the high slots are occupied by strip miners. I am considering creating a new account just to deal with rats and can flippers. But since I'm a pvp noob I need to research how to kill people and pvp first.

To all you guys mining, I suggest not using belts, but get level 1 missions. Tons of them have ore you can mine in them. When you get tired of pounding rocks come out and pvp =)

I've thought about hitting up the mission spots. I've noticed they seem to be pretty well stocked in terms of their roids. To be honest, my biggest thing against missions is that they are really boring and I spend more time looting and salvaging than I do killing things. Most rats die before I can even get a target lock on them as the drones swarm. Most of my fittings include more salvagers and tractor beams than weapons.
I have a pvp character. She is training a lot. I do play around with her in a frigate, but it's hard to get a decent fitting until you have some of the basic skills up to 5. The miners pay for her ships and all my skill training. PvP is an expense for me at the moment, but it's definately in my plans.
