Yeah, I've pulled my hair a few times over that one but just yesterday stumbled on to a workaround (at least it works for me).

Tne NLS_LANG parameter in your oracle.ini file is the culprit if your situation is like mine. Get rid of it and the nls_lang gets a default value upon connecting that should work just fine. By the way, you don't have your oracle client software installed on a network do you? Seems to me that local install never had this problem.

Anyway, good luck,
Cheers
