does your 404.aspx file exist in root directory?
if not , put it into root directory(else mentioned complete path of it).

Try following

XML

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
   <system.web>
     .. existing text ..
     .. existing text ..
   </system.web>
   <system.webServer>
      <httpErrors>
        <remove statusCode="401" subStatusCode="-1" />
        <remove statusCode="403" subStatusCode="-1" />
        <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
        <remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="-1" />
          <!-- full url when responsemode is Redirect -->
        <error statusCode="401" path="http://foo.com/default.htm" responseMode="Redirect" />
          <!-- local relative path when responsemode is ExecuteURL -->
        <error statusCode="403" path="/errors/403.htm" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
        <error statusCode="404" path="/somedir/oops404.htm" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
        <error statusCode="500" path="/somedir/500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
