Check the values for ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID (case sensitive) as 
set up for oracle user before running sqlplus . These values need to 
be the same for other users. (On UNIX system you could possibly check 
the login scripts for setup values).

I suspect that the user is not set for the correct instance of Oracle.
