Under the "shadow parameters" tab, are your shadows set to "ray traced shadows" or "shadow map"? It looks like they are shadow map to me because of the soft edges.(but I sure could be wrong)

I think the effect you're after is called Caustics.

This is where the glass sphere focusses the light in on the floor. Am I right in assuming you're after that effect? I think you can't do that with the default tools of Max, although in the latest version it might, but I'm not very familiar with the new options.
