Sounds like its got its knickers in a twist. Open your mame folder go into the cfg folder and delete default.cfg then try it again.

should be in there, its called 'default' if its not then thats prob why your video options are screwing up. Redownload your version of mame and re-extract it to your mame folder (don't overwrite your rom folder though).

Just to re-iterate it is a .cfg file called 'default' not another folder.

Wow!, that's a really old version of the emulator!.

Ok what commandline is Mala sending?. Perhaps Mala is telling it to open windowed via the commandline.
have you tried launching with commandline Mame rather than mame32?.

Does the game launch windowed when launched from the Mame32 GUI without Mala?.
