My favorited parts and hotkey config remained, but my favorited colors did not.
Sounds like main.cfg was deleted or corrupted.
For snapping to work check the following:
1 Make sure both your official and unofficial libraries' shadows are set to the correct .csl.
2 Make sure the use of shadows is enabled in the prefs/ldraw menu
3 Make sure snapping is enabled in the current editing view, indicated by a green PS in the compass.
If with this all it still doesn't work, check the most recent log file to see if there are any warnings or errors of interest.
