Default Can't get the highest refresh rates on my monitor?!

Hope someone can help me out. I've got a Viewsonic 19" monitor, the G90fb-2
series, and an ATi 9800 Pro Vid card. From time to time, I've had to
reinstall the the vid drivers because I would set my refresh high and the
screen would eventually freak out. After doing this multiple times, I
realized this occured everytime after I used Radeonnator to force the
refresh rate to the highest setting in a given resolution. I have sinced
reinstalled the vid drivers and Radeonator minus the custom refresh rate
utility. This time, I tried to set the highest refresh rate via the vid
driver thru the monitor tab, not using radeonnator for 1152x864. My monitor
can supposedly can handle 100 Mhz according to the monitor tab and I can
select that. However, if I use the viewmeter controls on the front of the
monitor, the monitor reports the refresh rate is just 85 Mhz. Basically, I
can't use the highest refresh in a given resolution, just the next to
highest one.

I've tried various things except one possibility: I haven't tried to set the
highest refresh before Radeonnator was installed. I'm going to uninstall
Radeonator and try it then and see what happens. Another thing I'll do is
to check the monitor specs. However, is this a common thing? Any ideas
what's causing this? Thanks!
