I imagine that the guy who formatted your laptop used two monitors. Try this... Windows + P, and set the monitors to "Duplicate" (not extend). Then close out of any windows that appear. Run task manager and make sure no applications are running. Then restart the computer. Hopefully, this will clear out any applications that windows places on the phantom monitor, and windows will resort back to only one monitor.

If windows still thinks you have two monitors, you can always keep the "Duplicate" setting. This will at least make it so your mouse won't "disappear into nothingness".
