Look at your IME bar (at the very top -- it's transparent in the screen shot). There are 8 or so setting areas from here. The one you're interested in is the 4th from the left -- input mode. You've set it to half-width katakana apprently. Click that, and seleect "hiragana". This will put you in the hiragana/kanji mode. You'll know if you're in the right mode when the symbol on that button is an "a" in hiragana.

There are four modes:
Hiragana
Full width hiragana
Full width katakana
Half width hiragana
Half width katakana
Direct Input (romaji)

Chances are, you'll only ever need to use the first and the last.

HTH,
