If you change the belt try the things that it goes round to see if they're running free or have too much play in them. Off the top of my head I think it's just the alternator and water pump, and that another belt drives the viscous fan and power steering pump.

experiencing the same thing. alternator belt has been tightened already but still squeals like a pig when the alternator is under load (when headlights and A/C on).

If tensioning it doesn't work then it's time for a new belt!
