Updated to ios5 and can no longer stream videos with apps. Solutions?

I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 and can no longer stream avi files that I get as mail attachments. I have two video player apps (GoodPlayer and oPlayer) and I can't choose to open the attachments with either of them when I hold down the file name in mail. Before the update, avi files played perfectly well with oplayer and now, nothing... I'm a pretty basic user and just want something that works well. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Reset the phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Are you running the current versions of these apps - you have checked for app updates?

I use OPlayer which works fine with iOS 5. As an FYI, viewing an AVI attachment received via emal is not streaming.

Any problem with a 3rd party app you need to take up with the app developer.

Does resetting the phone do anything to the phone's memory?

No data is lost by resetting.

See - a basic user, I don't even know what I'm trying to do...

I do have the most current versions of the two apps and have asked the developer of oplayer for help, but so far he hasn't been able to help at all. I used to get the 'open with' option in mail but now I can only save a copy of the avi file.
