I found the answer. the right code should be like this:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
        ....
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
<add name="CAPTCHAHandler" verb="GET" path="CaptchaImage.axd" type="MSCaptcha.CaptchaImageHandler, MSCaptcha" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Probably you are running in integrated mode, in this case you have to register your handler in another section like:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
<add name="CaptchaImageHandler" verb="GET" path="CaptchaImage.axd" type="MSCaptcha.CaptchaImageHandler, MSCaptcha" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

and remember to remove your current handler definition present in the httpHandlers section.
