When I try to start NS2, I get the following message:
https://i.ibb.co/54btDzS/hard-ns2.png
"Warning: Slow drive detected!". I didn't have this issue back in 2018, when I last played the game. I guess my laptop is getting quite old.

Specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-527U CPU @ 2.70GHz (2.70 GHz)
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 10 Home
Date of Purchase: 2015

Is there any quick fix around this problem with my current laptop?
