You have to draw the board edge.
First you select the yellow layer from the layer selector (left side low corner, already selected in your picture)
Then click the blue square icon from the left side icons and draw a rectangular of your board edge so that the autorouter knows the area it can use.
Then you can use the autorouter.

Its my advice to manually place components...

And do what alexan_e is referring to you...

Dont bother with the auto placer (unless you want to do a lot of reading concerning the priorities stuff) it will just "dump"everything in one big cluster somewhere in your defined area and you will end up moving them any way.
A better approach would be to annotate your schematic to define each "section or room" of your circuit then place all those components together (All the parts that are closely related IE a regulator and filter cap NEAR the power inlet not half way across the board) OR go down the route of POWER - NOISEY - ANALOGUE - DIGITAL . Remember there is NO right or wrong way to place a board give the same circuit to 100 people you get 100 designs its about asthetics and keeping everything as short and as simple as you can unless you are working under a very tight brief involving impedence, speed emf etc
