I've tightened mine several times and it just won't stop! Anything else I can do? It only happens when the engine is cold... once it warms up it's fine... but when the car starts cold, it squeels for about 15 seconds.. .then it will squeel everytime I turn the wheel OR if I turn the A/C on

Yeah the one on top on the bracket that is outlined in the above pic has the slot for adjustment, there is the old trick of taking a bar of soap and with the car running touch the bar to the belt nad the squelling will stop cause it makes it grip.
And it is alot cheaper than buying that damn belt dressing shit that doesn't work.

Perform this troubleshoot to find out exactly which component has the binding bearing:
Loosen the belt on each of the accessories one by one, and then start the engine after each accessory belt has been loosened. Loosen the belt just enough to allow the pulley to spin freely with no resistance. When the squealing stops after a certain accessory belt has been loosened, inspect that unit for bearing wear. Good luck.
