First try to establish whether your USB driver setup is correct.
Try these steps:

1. Make sure that one BCR has device ID 1 and the other 2.

2. Open Windows' Device Manager, e.g. via Windows' Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware.
(I don't know the Dutch version's names of all of this, but they should be relatively easy to find.)
In Device Manager, open the item "Sound, video and game controllers":
there should be two items called "B-Control Midi (10/19/2005, 1.2.1.3)".
(And there should NOT be any "old" drivers called "usb apparaat" or Behringer drivers with other version numbers.)
While Device Manager is open, try switching each BCR off and on: its item should automatically disappear and re-appear in the list correspondingly (after a few seconds).
If all this works as described above, your USB driver configuration is probably correct, and any further problems are only related to individual audio applications (BC Manager, Reaper, etc.).

In BC Manager you can then simply run "Restart with default setup" and both BCRs should be immediately listed and accessible.

Alternatively, follow the steps described in BC Manager Manual, section 6.
Note that you can add BCR "contexts" to the B-Controls list manually via B-Control -> "New BCR2000" (and remove items via "Close selected").
You can then manually assign the correct MIDI I/O ports and Device IDs to each BCR via MIDI -> Options.

One important thing to keep in mind is that you should not switch a BCR off or on (nor change its actual device ID) while BC Manager (or indeed any other audio program) is running: BC Manager won't be able to work with the new situation until you restart BC Manager (e.g. via its Restart operation).

Hope this helps,
Mark.
