I should have mentioned I am using Poser 4.0.3.126., on a PC. I can't see anything strange in the pp2, there is no "castsShadow" line in the pp2, but then neither is there one in the box.pp2, and that does cast shadows. I tried putting a "castsShadow 1" line in the pp2, but that did not help. Cast Shadows is on for the Render Options, and for all three lights. "castShadows 1" is set in the "renderDefaults" section of the "preferedState.pz3". I can't think of anything else to try.
