Try to make sure the belt is aligned and seated properly across all the pulleys. You can also check the belt to make sure it's not getting shredded (e.g. missing teeth), which can be caused by age and slight mis-alignment.

Depending on the age of the belt, it may be good to just buy a new replacement. Also, when you installed the belt, you should have installed it so that it rotates in the same direction as the previous owner.
