Loop Cancelled Out By Other Loop

Use <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> before making your call for next loop.

Hi there
Not working I’m afraid.
It’s like the actual request the page is making for which ever post it’s on, cancels out the header loop :S
Thanks anyway ??

Can you post the full code here.

Sorry, tweaked it a bit to this:

<?php

//The Query
query_posts('showposts=5');

//The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title=""><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
 		<li>Something went bang... please try again later.</li>
<?php endif;

//Reset Query
wp_reset_query();

?>

Thanks ??
