  My company purchased quality software from Pilgrim Software called SmartSolve and for some reason the spell checker in their software keeps giving us the following error:
  
  RadSpell error. Server returned error: 500
  Please, see the help for more details: RadSpell 3.x - Configuration - SpellCheckHandler.
  /SmartSolve/RadControls/Spell/Telerik.RadSpellCheckHandler.ashx
  Expected ';'
  
  Please use SmartSolve to view this file
  
  
  I have been talking to Pilgrim software about this and we have been thinking it has something to do with the Web.config file but everything we try isn't solving the problem.  It seems Pilgrim Software doesn't know what is causing this.  Have you seen this problem before?  And if so does it have anything to do with the jscript files?

  Hello,
  
  A server error 500 means that there was an unhandled exception while the spellcheck request was processed. The response to the Telerik.RadSpellCheckHandler.ashx request should contain the exception details. Use a HTTP debugging proxy (Fiddler for IE, Firebug for Firefox) and check the contents of the response for the spellcheck request.
  
  Some common problems are missing or inaccessible dictionary files (*.tdf) or an invalid entry in the custom dictionary file ( [lang]-custom.txt ). In this case, you can removing the custom dictionary file to see if the problem will go away.
  
  Greetings,
  Lini
