If the belts were misaligned you would have more problems with the belts slipping or falling of. I think it sounds like you may not have enough slack. When the belts are tightened you should have say a few mm slack where you can tug the belts up and down with your finger.

Probably one of the fan belts is loose or glazed from slipping. Before you start it next time take a bar of handsoap and lightly rub it across the underside of the belts. If the squeking stops you need to have your belts checked and/or replaced.

1994 prism geo has squeaky noise when you start it up?

You did not define "squeaky" but if there is a shrill noise when you startup or accelerate under engine load then it could be your serpentine belts slipping. Take a look at the 3 belts and see if they are glazed (shiny). If so then it is best to replace them.
