Which mac os X version ? If it is a new one, try a build from the signature from dominus

Works fine here with the latest version of Boxer.

It's an issue between Lion and the SDL library.
You must use a later version of DOSBox that uses the 1.2.15 version of SDL where the full screen issue was fixed.

(just guessing, hope this helps).

Sorry I meant to add that executing fullscreen from a window works fine in all my other games just not the web or timeshock

The SVN worked a treat thanks! May I ask what broke in the mac version and also does this SVN have glide support built in? What is different about it?

The official 0.74 version of Dosbox had SDL 1.2.14 compiled in, this SVN version has SDL 1.2.15 compiled in, that alone fixes tons of things broken by SDL.
SVN of Dosbox has all the changes to Dosbox sourcecode since the 0.74 version. No glide support though.
