Hi Raja,
I guess, you issue is sligtly different from what is described in the link. Your database is US7ASCII versus AL32UTF8 talked on the web page. US7ASCII by definition supports ONLY ASCII characters - 32-127.

Permanent solution would be to change character set on database site to support all character that your application is storing.

A temporary solution would be to set a character set on client site to match the database character set (US7ASCII). Search windows registry for the NLS_LANG key:

NLS_LANG=American_America.WE8MSWIN1252 - in your environment might be different and change it to
NLS_LANG={the same as it was}.US7ASCII
