radeon 7000 win 98 now limited to 75Hz

I have a Radeon 7000 that has long been running 1024x768 32bpp hsync=99
vsynch =120 in windows 98 se. It uses an Iiyama Vison Master S901GT
monitor, with refresh ranges h 27-102, and v 50-160.

When I updated machine to 1 G ram (extensive tests of memory with
x86memtest - mem is not issue), something belched on reboot into Windows. I
had no success reloading the driver I had been using
(wme_radeon_4_13_7189.exe), and eventually loaded the "latest and
greatest:"
4.14.01.9109 ...
wme-radeon-7-90-030605m-009437c-efg.exe ... AND
control-panel-7-90-030605m-009437c-efg.exe

Now I can't get a refresh rate of over 75Hz

The function to adjust refresh rate under ATI display settings/adapter
seems to make no difference. In the same ATI display
settings/displays/monitor/(advanced) I find no function for refresh rate.

It seems I am locked into the 75Hz as a max vsynch?!!

ATI support does not answer my inqiry.

The same machine runs fine in linux! .... It runs 1280x1024 24/32bpp
hsync=91 vsynch =85 in linux XFree86.

All indications are it is the driver.
