Your program works; however, when I try to select any refresh rate past 65 hz, my monitor gives me the following warning: WRONG CABLE, USE DUAL LINK DVI CABLE THAT CAME WITH THE MONITOR.

Well, I am using the DVI dual link cable that came with the monitor...

My graphics card is an XFX HD Radeon 7850, and I am sure that I plugged it into the correct port, as the other part specifcally says VGA, and even when I do use that port, the monitor only shows a black screen.

Any ideas as to why I get this cable warning, when I know the cable is correct?

The cable warning means the monitor is receiving a single-link DVI signal. 7850 cards usually only have one dual-link DVI port, and it might be the port marked VGA. VGA just means it can be used with a DVI-VGA adapter. If the monitor is connected to a single-link DVI port, you shouldn't be able to add any resolutions beyond 165 MHz pixel clock.

If you can't get the monitor working properly with either port, then there's a hardware issue somewhere, either with the monitor, cable, or video card.
