Kivy Changes Screen Resolution Vista 32 laptop

[svci...@gmail.com]

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem running Kivy Hello World App on a Vista 32-bit laptop?

Hardware: Acer Xtensa 5420 with Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics.

Software: Vista 32 bit with properly updated ATI Catalyst Control Center. Anaconda Python 2.10.

Bug: 

1. Screen resolution set to 1280 x 800.

2. Launch Kivy Hello World MyApp from IPython. 

3. MyApp takes up full screen. No windows borders appear anywhere in display. 

4. Screen resolution drops way below 1280 x 800.

5. Hit "Esc" or kill Kivy App in Task Manager and screen returns to 1280 x 800.

This is the input/output in IPython console:

import kivy

kivy.require('1.9.1') # replace with your current kivy version !

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.label import Label

class MyApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return Label(text='Hello world')

if __name__ == '__main__':

    MyApp().run()

Further debug info: C:\Mingw32-xy and C:\Python27 are in the system path alongside Anaconda Python apparently because I installed both Python XY and Anaconda 2.7x. I have not tried to install Kivy to the Python XY version yet.

Below is sys.path shown in IPython:

import sys

print sys.path

['', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\DLLs', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\Sphinx-1.3.1-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\cryptography-0.9.1-py2.7-win32.egg', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-23.0.0-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions', 'C:\\Users\\ME\\.ipython', 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\kivy\\modules', 'C:\\Users\\ME\\.kivy\\mods']
