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.

The missing animations are caused by your computer being on (including sleep) for too long. After about 24 days, a number will wrap to negative and animations will be gone. Two solutions are available: wait another 24 days or restart your computer.

Restart your computer. All Impressions citybuilding games have this clock-related bug where animations stop working after you leave your computer on (or sleeping) for about 24 days. Restarting your computer resets it. Or wait 24 more days until the animations return automatically...
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.
