Some modifiers don't work on appended object (Modifier's names are red highlighted)

When I append an object from a 'spare part' Blender file, its modifiers (SubSurf and boolean) don't work. Their names are highlight in red in the stack modifier. Even if I remove those modifiers from the source file, I can not still apply them in the second file.

I've tried to set this object as Unique (U) or Local (L) in both files; nothing new!

Any idea about that behavior? (Blender 2.74, W. XP)

$\begingroup$ It's because Win XP.. You shouldn't use it. I mean it..like really. Ok the problem might be couple reasons, one of them Simplify set to 0 (under Scene). You should give us the .blend file. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Thanks Jerryno ! You're right, it WAS the simplify option of the scene. I haven't use this fonction for now so I've learn something new. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @David While those questions have answers which solve this question I would argue that those questions are very different. See meta.blender.stackexchange.com/questions/549/… $\endgroup$
