Squeak upon start up.

So early in the morning when I start the car it sounds fine. The squeak begins when I start to move the car its usually in the 1st few minutes of moving. I have sprayed belt dressing on the belts which has helped it a little in the amount of time it squeaks. So now it only squeaks for 20 to 30 seconds then goes away. But it is rather annoying has anyone had this problem or know of any solutions for this.

Thanks

not necessarily bad, it could just need to be tightened
look at the belt, and if the rubber is all cracked up, then you need to replace it
 
What he said. Belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles. You can also try belt dressing spray if everything is in order, and you still have some squeaking.
