No ring shadows :(

Hi!

I have a problem with my Celestia v. 1.5.1. It doesn't show ring shadows and planet shadows on rings although the option is marked. What's wrong??

My graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

You may need a driver update from NVidia.

Also, make sure that you have told Celestia to use the best render path.
Type a Ctrl-V to Celestia several times to step through the render paths available for your card.
