   Hey..first of all where did you buy this Atari from?  Do you know if it's a   
   PAL or NTSC machine?  I'm guessing since you paid in Euros that you need a   
   machine that works in PAL.  I'm not sure how you figure out what type it   
   is..maybe it says somewhere on the Atari itself.   
      
   Second, did it come with a little RF switch, that you can switch between TV   
   mode and computer?  Make sure this is hooked up and set to Computer.   
      
   I know in the US you need to make sure the TV is also set on either channel   
   3 or channel 4...not sure how it works in Europe.   
      
   Well, hope this is of some help.
