I have a core i3 laptop if it matters and not able to use analysis feature properly. Whenever I click on the analysis button it does nothing, all it shows is the move of my chess games and no possible lines ( like the one which are shown in green text which the engine thinks are best). I just wanted to see a couple of missed mates and mistakes that I make or analyze my blunders. Tried auto analysis and the window is still open and it's been trying to analyze a game for over 10 minutes just loading the moves again and again. If I remember correctly, i was able to made the arena work but forgot how I did it previously, xd. Any help  please??j

It is showing you that taking the rook on d4 is the best move and gives you the line that it is looking at.

I think I figured out that you are looking for the whole game analysis provided here on Chess.com. To get that you just pull up your game from the archive and click "Computer Analysis".

Since the program is a standard windows executable under the Help menu is useful stuff.
Call up the help file ( F1? ) . Inside that will be a search tab, select that and type: analysing
Click on each of the items until you find what you want.

Yes, I know but I'm a free member and I cannot see the lines so, I have the only option of using arena as the analysis board on chess won't show alternative lines or missed mates(only shows that you missed a mate) unless I  upgrade to a plan. So, I was thinking if it's possible to get arena to analyze my games?

If Arena's auto analysis isn't working for you, check all of the settings in the auto analysis tabs. And yeah, as Rat1960 stated, you might want to go to Arena Help and look up "auto analysis".

You might also try the analysis function in Lucas Chess.

I tried Arena but it wasn't user-friendly enough for me.

I would suggest, if you're using Windows, downloading the freeware Lucas Chess (https://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/), also not real user-friendly but tolerable and some info here: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=lucas_chess

Load in the .pgn file of the game, and have Stockfish 8, or whatever other engine you desire, analyze it.

I set for 20-ply, 15 moves, which takes an avg. 50-70 seconds/half-move on my quad-core computers, so it shows the lines from the best 15 moves for EACH move, their pawn equiv. values, and suggests moves and the 20 half-moves after each of those moves.

It also generates an analysis like this game I won with White this month (this game: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/187192962):

For comparison, here are the chess.com "maximum" Indexes:

null

 Lucas/Stockfish 8 (or any other engine - many included with Lucas Chess), doesn't list the % best moves, but the move analysis lists the best moves in blue, and double-clicking on any move gives the list of the top 15 (or whatever you set that parameter to) possible moves and how that variation should progress:
