Paged navigation broken after query_post

Hi,

im using query post to exclude a category. i got this before the loop:

<?php query_posts(‘cat=-37’); // exclude curses ?>

and it hides the posts from that category. but if i click on the “next page” link at the botton, i get http://myblog/page/2/ but the contents are the same as the main page. and so on if i go to page 3,4,5,6…
so i found that query post actually has problems with paged navigation, but i found this on a <url=http://ifelse.co.uk/archives/2005/04/08/query_posts-redux/>blog</url>:

Actually, a quick google search has revealed the following solution to the lack of paging when using query_posts():

query_posts($query_string . ‘&YOUR QUERY_POST STRING’);

if you wanted to simply get the default Loop after running a previous query_posts(), use:

query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=date’);

but i have no idea on how to implement this. i tried with ‘cat=-37&orderby=date’ but still no work.
any ideas?
