Jalview is primarily meant for displaying alignments. It probably can create alignments using an external program, and an educated guess is that you don't have that program installed or at least Jalview is not aware of it. You can make an alignment using a variety of free programs and then display in Jalview.

By the way, there is no image in your post.
