Turn On the Sticky Keys Feature

I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Turn On the Sticky Keys Feature

When a shortcut requires a key combination, the StickyKeys feature lets you press a modifier key, such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the Windows Logo key, and have it remain active until another key is pressed. Press the Shift key five times. A dialog box opens with instructions on how to set up the StickyKeys feature.
If you click OK, an icon (a group of squares) appears in the notification area.
To turn off StickyKeys, press the Shift-key five times.

umm i fell asleep on the keyboard and the thing popped up for StickyKeys and i clicked cancel on it
however it decided to keep StickyKeys
i tried to turn them off in accessability options but the box was not checked so i went to settings and unchecked the boxes there
the StickyKeys function is getting rather annoying right now because i cand use periods to end my scentence it is only ">" for some reason and everytime i click something a new window pops up for it
i am worried because StickyKeys killed my old computer

so can you please tell me how to fix this?

Laptop or Desktop? What type of computer?

I take it you've tried the advice above, correct?
