There's only ONE accessory belt,the only other belt is the timing belt,a
toothed belt;if IT is squealing(and slipping),then the motor would have
serious problems.
I suppose it could also be a bad bearing on one of the accessories.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more about the belt dressing recommendation. It'll
work in the short term but it's nothing more than a quick-fix, band-aid
solution. Adjusting the tension would be the proper way to eliminate it.
Who said there's only one accessory belt? Did the original poster even
mention what model or year vehicle? My '98 CRV has three accessory belts....
alternator, PS and AC compressor. I also had to adjust the tension on the
alternator belt on my '88 Accord last week since it had started to squeal a
little bit at startup. That car also has three belts(alt/wp, PS, and AC) but
I no longer use the AC belt since the clutch on the compressor died ten years
ago.

Re: *SCREECHING NOISE
Same problem with my 1996 civic (212K km). Although I had a
maintenance-checked by a dealer in Canada. When I start my car in the
morning (temperature is around 8 C or less) I hear that screeching
noise for about a second and it goes as the engine gets started.
Yes, opening the hood I see several belts (2 or 3) none of them are
easily accesible, though.
