Hi,
Asking for help I can't see the workers in the warehouse (they are employed) I don't see the workers working in the field. Also how the dancers are dancing they are blocked. The flags are not moving. I have no water in the well either. Did I have to press the keyboard shortcut?

Is this some kind of caviar error?

Please help

It seems to an occasional problem with all Sierra City Building games. When I got it, I was told to turn off and on my computer. It worked.
However, this may be a more complete answer I read when looking for a solution

"Ok I have animations back now. I disabled the visual themes on the executable's compatibility tab (right click pharaoh.exe, click compatibility tab, click disable visual themes), and restarted my computer. Bang, they're back, so give that a spin."

Animation failed, Sprites glitch
(missing icons, flags do not appear, buildings freezes/empty, never indicate)

There is a glitch in the entire Caesar3 + Pharaoh + Zeus + Emperor series where (suddenly!) Building Animation stops working

It's impossible to play without Building Animation, you can't see if the Building works or not.
Usually a REBOOT helps. In general, Reboot, or wait another 24 days :D

Most laptops are set to Sleep and Hibernate by default.
Not surprisingly, the problem has escalated, because Shutdown has become a rarity.
