This is a known issue and is mentioned in the game's README.TXT file:
Cast Shadows -- Some low-end systems with older graphics cards may incorrectly allow you to select the shadows: cast option on the video tab of the game settings screen. If the game locks up or hangs after selecting the shadows: cast advanced graphic option, you may need to restart your computer and deselect the shadows: cast option in order to continue playing.
On another note about Nvidia card drivers from the README.TXT file:
The most recent sets of Nvidia drivers may cause graphical problems such as corrupted textures and invisible objects on some machines. The most recent suite of drivers which does -not- cause problems can be found at www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_45.23.html (for win2k/xp) or www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_45.23.html (for win98/ME).
