1. Welcome to Tech Support Guy

2. Please do not post in bold it is hard on the eyes
It is easier to read like this - rather than like this

3. This
RTL8192EU
is the chipset not the actual model

4. What is it you have actually purchased with the Realtek chip
a wireless card or a usb wireless adapter
Please provide a link to it if possible or the full make and model details

5. and downloaded what drivers I could from gateway
There are not usually drivers for wireless on Gateway desktops and I could not find one for your model

Please answer the 2 questions in post #3 so we can direct you to the correct driver downloads site.
http://www.gateway.com/worldwide/support/?ref=crp&pn=1008522
If your eyes are bad, make sure you submit those 2 numbers correctly.
I have just installed win xp pro on a formatted /partitioned hard drive
When you did a clean install of Windows XP Professional, did it include Service Pack 3?
If SP3 has not been installed, some drivers won't install or work properly.
it was a blue dot wi fi adapter,and it will not work on winxp
Is that wireless adapter the same or similar to this one?

1. I live in Washington State USA
2. Model number Gateway E-4500s
3. Serial Number 0036304990
Go HERE, then select "United States", then select "Drivers & Downloads".
Click "Search By Product Model", then type in E-4500S, then click "Search".
When the list of drivers appears, make sure that "Windows XP 32-bit" is selected for the operating system.
Download and save the top-most Sigmatel audio and Intel chipset drivers.
Install the Intel chipset driver first, then restart that Gateway before installing the Sigmatel audio driver.

Is the display device(Intel or NVIDIA?) and ethernet device in that Gateway working okay?
I am at this time downloading service pack 3,again
The 316 MB-size Service Pack 3 upgrade was released in 2008, so even after you install it, that Gateway will still be over 8 years out of date.
But without the SP3 upgrade installed, most programs and devices won't install or work properly.
