Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (filestuff="...%> <table width="67%" b...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

That's .Net right? I seem to remember needing to add ValidateRequest="false" to my pages and it fixed that error. I'm not sure if the rest of this stuff is necessary.

<%@ Page EnableSessionState="False" EnableViewState="True" Trace="False" Debug="False" Strict="False" ValidateRequest="false" %>

The error is caused by an update you did to your computer to get a new version of the .Net framework or it is caused by an updated they did to the .Net framework on their server.
