OKay, the first pic is something I did a couple years ago. There's no setting prop, just a plain white background. Itrying to do something similar in the second pic, but shadows aren't showing up in it, even when I use the exact same light set.

Any ideas on what's going wrong?
The first pic was done in Poser 6 (or maybe 7), the second in Poser Pro.

do you have anything to cast shadows on to like a floor plane?

It looks like you are displaying the ground plane in the first image which is set to Shadow Catch Only by default
