Are you suffering from glare from the screen, or reflections and wash-out caused by the light from the windows behind you?

There are no settings that will eliminate reflections, though increasing contrast may help a little. Putting a glare filter over the screen might resolve your problem, but otherwise turn the laptop around so that it doesn't face the windows, or hang a curtain over the window to reduce the light levels falling onto your screen.

I assume it works OK at night?

Perhaps he should close all the windows, turn out the light, leave the room and shut the door. Wait 10 seconds then open the door, boot the light, open all the windows again and see if that has solved the problem. :D

If all else fails, get a braille laptop and keep your eyes shut.
