Display Post’s and Page’s content

Hi,
I’m trying to create a page template which has an image rotator at the top, getting images from posts in a specific category (which is currently working); and then display the page. At the moment it shows the image rotator then the rotator images in the place of the page content.

I’ve tried the assigning the query_posts() to another variable then bringing the page content back using the original query_posts() but it doesn’t work…

Please help Here is what I have so far…

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="container content">
<div class="span-24 pagetitle" style="margin-top:-5px; padding-top:0px; background:none;">

	<div id="slideshow">
		<?php query_posts('&cat='. get_option('bara_normalpage_features')); ?>

		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
			<?php $counter = 1; ?>
				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

					<div <?php if($counter == 1){echo "class=\"active\"";} else{ echo"class=\"post\"";} ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" >
							<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_first_image() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" height="118px" /></a>
					</div>

				<?php $counter ++; ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
</div>

<div class="span-24 rbox rounded content" style="margin-right:6px; margin-top:0px">
    	<div class="inner">
			<div>

				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

				<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

			</div>
		</div>
	</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
