The image is created on the fly by calling the ASP file, CAPTCHA_image.asp
This file will run the same way as any other ASP file and needs no special permissions.
Try reuploading the file again incase the file has become corrupted.

Try doing the same as this:-
http://forums.webwiz.net/CAPTCHA_image.asp - http://forums.webwiz.net/CAPTCHA_image.asp
and calling the file CAPTCHA_image.asp in your web browser, if it fails to run it should give an ASP error which will give an idea as to what exactly is wrong.
If you use IE you may need to disable Friendly HTTP Errors first.

i need to disabel SALT and password encryption, or we simply cant get the forum to work alongside my website database.
ant API is also not working, we run version 7.1 for 3 years, whit no encryption and no salt.
so how do i disabel this in V 8.2

If you had password encryption disabled in 7.01 the passwords will remain untouched during the upgrade.
What you need to do to disable encrypted passwords is to edit the file 'includes/setup_options_inc.asp' and disable the password encryption were indicated in the notes in this file.

thet file is messing up the CAPTCA :(
the erros are like this.
| Description | Variable is undefined: 'strReferer' | | Location | /include/asp_forum.asp line 10 |
in my file /include/asp_forum.asp line 10
i have this: strReferer = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")

You need to declare your variable.
A simpler option maybe to remove the line :-
<% Option Explicit %>
From the CAPTCHA_image.asp file
