resetting query_posts for 2nd loop on same page

Hello there, my first post here ??

I want to use The_Loop twice on a page, but with *different* query_posts filters, the second time with no restriction (usual standard loop).

But setting query_posts(‘a€?); in the second loop doesna€?t actually reset the filter, and the 2nd loop displays the posts filtered in the first loop.

Hope I was clear. Looking for your hints. ??
