Could someone please tell me why I can't enable the detailed shadows? When I try to drag the bar from low to high, it just will not move.
Is it my graphics card, or some kind of certain setting?
Please and thank you! =)

Not sure I can help, but you may want to list the type of card you have. Most newer ones i.e. 8x series nvidia, maybe 7x series, have shading technology. Most older ones don't iirc.

Kk, I would list my card, only I'm not exactly sure what it is. :x
If your video card is several years old it may not support a high enough version of DirectX or OpenGL.
The full shadows do make the game look nicer, but they are extremely ineffecient and will make even the best computer bog down.
If you are unsure of what video card you have hit the windows key between ctrl and alt plus the R key. You can also go to Start menu and the Run... Type dxdiag.exe and select yes if it asks about some WHQL driver stuff. Then select the Display tab at the top and look for the following information.

Chip Type:
Unless this is a Mac, which does not have the required OpenGL extensions to display full shadows.
K, so since I'm on a Mac, there's no way to see the shadows like that? Well thanks for the info. =)
