Re: ??? High Pitched Squealing Noise ???
The air conditioning compressor on my 96 Achieva was making a whining sound in those same condiions but it could also being the water pump or the power steering or a problem with the belt inself or the belt tensioner. The most likely cause because of the burning smell you mention is that one of the accessorys pulley is in the process of seizing up and the belt is gotting hot by rubbing on it why its not spinning. Your best bet would probably be to see if you can pinpoint it by looking while the engine is running and if this doesn't work to remove the belt and try to spin the Alternator, water pump and air conditioning compressor by hand and pay attention to any noises or effort to move them.

edit -lol, figures that a moderator wouldn't pay attention to the date of the last post
