Go to Accessibility, Display, Settings and make sure that the
check box for 'Use Shortcut" is checked. Then left shift, left alt and
print screen pressed simultaneously should toggle high contrast on
and off.

If the screen still isn't easily readable, he might want to consider
using an enlargement program. Again these can be toggled to
'normal' mode if another person wants to use the computer.
