Descriptive Problem Summary: it lets me log into my key, i can send people messages but when i try to join a game it says "BYOND key offline. Connecting as Guest. connected: Banned by host, guest keys are disabled". It only happens to my desktop and, as said before, only recognizes me as a guest when trying to play a game; has been happening ever since it was spiked :s (i'm guessing that plays a big reason to this problem? not all to great with computers) so when i was reinstalling all my stuff, when i went to install BYOND, it's been doing this now. but as far as my laptop goes, it runs just fine with my main key and a secondary key i have.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: searching around forum for anyone with similar problem and have removed byond completely from the computer it's having problems with and reinstalling it.
