One option worth trying is the CUILOAD command.  Type it in at the command line.

CUILOAD should have worked if the files are on your hard drive in the proper folder.
 
Walk us through what you did and your responses.

Is the Express directory listed in the "Working file support search path". If not add it.
 
You can try using the EXPRESSMENU command.
 
Or....
 
You can try using the REPAIR option.

ok The express folder was in my Autocad2011/ folder.  Then i moved it to AutoCAD2011/support folder.  When i type cuiload i get a window and it ask me to browse  to load(express is not loaded) but when i select the express folder in any location no files come up as it is looking for extensions with cui, cuix and mnu that are not in the express folder. 
Typing expressmenu give me unknown command.

Did you look inside the Express folder to see if there were any files?  Maybe it is empty?

Flatten.lsp - Converts 3d geometry to 2d geometry.
Isn't that what you want to do?
Did you use APPLOAD to load it?
