Have you switched the VR off before you change lens I believe you can sometimes have problems if you remove/mount lenses with the VR and/or camera switched on.

Judging from the typing (grammar, spelling etc) in the first post, maybe you are under the influence of something?
Are you sure that you have not accidentally switched the lens (or camera(s)) to manual focus? Were the camera(s) and lens switched off when you changed lenses?
