Planet Graphic

Newbie question here, but my planets are missing the shadows (from the stars) that all of the screenshots on this website have. Is this an option, or am I missing planet textures (which are enabled in my game)?

Adjust the background ambient light level in your game options menu under the video tab. less than 50% should give you shadows depending on your video card. Also the pan and tilt and zoom of your man mapalters the shadow definition

Ambient light is set at 25%. I have Intel 82865G Graphics Controller card, is it just not beefy enough to run the shadows?
