The character sets are determined by the ORA_NLS32 environment variable. If you want to use other than US7ASCII, set it as your install guide suggests (ie, $ORACLE_HOME/occommon/nls/admin/data on some platforms).
You have (well, some people hack) to determin the character set at database creation time. It sounds like someone created yours under US7ASCII, and now you are trying to restore data files to a database created later?
